I don't think most children would be looking at this book alone. It is targeted at such a young age group, I'm sure it is intended to be read by an adult with the child. I imagine the interactions would be minimal such as opening a flap or petting the fur on a cat. Authors have found many simple ways to add interaction to books. I picked up one the other day that had a duck and you could rub its feathers and a lizard and you could touch its scaly skin. It was simple but fun for children.Adediran Israel wrote: ↑31 Jul 2018, 11:32 If this book is going to have an interactive session then it is well suited to them in the school because there is no way age 2-3 years age group will get themselves involve in meaningful interactive session.

Yes, this was the very first thought that crossed my mind while reading the book. To engage the young readers there is nothing better than an interaction section. I even mentioned this in my review. Your idea of including the 'before' vs 'after' scenario soumds very interesting and will be perfectly suitable for the young children,I believe.joycechitwa wrote: ↑27 Jul 2018, 02:45 Toni The Superhero is targeted to children who are just learning how to read - probably in the range of 2 - 3 years old. There is a trend for books targeting this age group to be interactive so as to retain the interest and concentration of the children.
So for instance when Toni is doing dishes or rescuing that cat from a tree, there could be an extra fold on the page or sort of mini-windows that the child can open and close. These extra additions can have a "before" portion where dishes are undone, or the cat is on the tree, then an "after" portion with a clean sink or the cat safe. The "after" portion should be revealed after the child has interacted in some way with the page.
Wouldn't that draw the child in more?

I agree with you. Also, the book is simple, and the adult reading can make it fun. It's short and sweet to keep the childs attention. Illustrations are great as well ro help them stay focused.Dael Reader wrote: ↑27 Jul 2018, 07:05Actually, I think folds and tabs get in the way with children who are just learning to read. They can be more interested in playing with the page than learning to read the words. The only "interaction" a child needs with a picture book is a thoughtful adult who will read with them and engage them in a conversation about characters and pictures.
