The titles for the next series doesn't look like it but I guess we'll have to see.Sarah Tariq wrote: ↑22 Jul 2018, 10:18 Interesting idea. Current book is the introduction of Toni's Personality. May be the next book will state about the origin of Toni's powers.

I agree with you. Listing the origin of his powers from vegetable would sound quite cliché. We'll see what the next series unfolds.Shrabastee wrote: ↑23 Jul 2018, 03:00 As far as I could get from the discussions, the next book shows how veggies are important to build power. Well, I hope that the origin of Toni's superpowers will not be listed solely as eating vegetables. However, apart from his cape and suit and one flying photograph, Toni hasn't even shown his superpowers yet. I am hoping to see something along those lines in the next books.

Your comment makes me wonder if the young readers will catch this as well. Will the children reading this feel defrauded because Toni doesn't leap tall buildings in a single bound?kfwilson6 wrote: ↑23 Jul 2018, 08:41 I don't expect much plot or backstory or character development from this series. The blurb for the Toni Likes Vegetables book indicates that his enemy is germs. Makes it sound like we might see Toni brushing his teeth, bathing, and washing his hands regularly. Doesn't seem like he will have what we consider superpowers. I find this pretty misleading. If Toni isn't really a superhero then maybe Base should have said he likes to dress like one or act brave like one. Something like that.

Well, the next book would be good enough if it deals with veggies. Any how you are right that Toni focus is more on a daily chores instead of showing some superpowers.Shrabastee wrote: ↑23 Jul 2018, 03:00 As far as I could get from the discussions, the next book shows how veggies are important to build power.

Interesting thought, but I doubt the children are sitting around wondering so much about it.

I agree. I don't think they are thinking that far or that deeply into the situation. Especially since Toni isn't specifically said to be flying, shooting eye lasers, or displaying super strength. There is not much to prompt the question.

I agree. While we hope that the subtle lessons of this book will have an impact on children, it is unlikely anything will be explicitly recognized by them. They are just enjoying the colorful pictures and learning how to match up the words with the images.
