It seems like questions imply more from the child than is really appropriate at the targeted age. Teaching children to read is quite a task, I wouldn't expect to get heavy into themes or lessons with them at this stage.Ruba Abu Ali wrote: ↑26 Jul 2018, 07:44 I do not find it necessary to add questions to this book. The main aim is teach children to read and comprehend words. I think it's better to leave it to the parent to raise points for discussion as the book is read with the child.

I totally agree. It might have been suitable to use questions at the end of the book or dwell on the deeper meaning of words if the book were for a different age group.kfwilson6 wrote: ↑26 Jul 2018, 09:51It seems like questions imply more from the child than is really appropriate at the targeted age.

You are right that simplicity is the beauty of this story. However, some simple questions can be added to help parents to inculcate the thoughts to children.melissy370 wrote: ↑15 Jul 2018, 20:00 The point of the book is for young readers to learn how to read. I don't think questions about the underlying messages would benefit that goal. For me, the simplicity of the story is the beauty of it and the parent can draw the child's attention to whatever they want.
And parents can do their self to make some questions about Toni ask children about it. It will help children to memorise those lessons for along time.

Of coarse it is not required . Rather can make this book interactive according to the mental capabilities of their child.chelhack wrote: ↑27 Jul 2018, 04:04 I do not believe that there is a needed section for lessons learned. I believe that a lot of the creativity behind making a book such as this one for small children is that they are learning by reading, seeing, and doing. Which, I think is great for this age group.

You are right in a way that the intended audience are little kids who can not go into the depth. The children of age group 1 and really can't understand these questions. But if we see at the age group of 3 and 4 , the children of this age can easily understand the questions . Rather they will enjoy this activity.Al Chakauya wrote: ↑13 Jul 2018, 21:09 For me discussion questions are a big NO for this book. The author's idea here is to teach kids to read - adding questions will not help the intended reader. The big and vibrant illustrations accompanied by very short sentences will just do the trick to lure the child to read the book again and again.
