This story is about an African American little boy named, Toni. The little boy is described as a superhero because of the activities he partakes in. He is outgoing, friendly, and takes care of his body through healthy eating. He assists his mother with household chores. As well as, play outdoors with his friends. The reader will be able to associate with how supportive and caring Toni is to family and pals.
It is a great beginner book for children who are just learning to read. The words are labeled in the fry word section or sight words section for children between the ages of 4-7 years old. Making it ideal for any teacher who works in grades pre-k through first, to help students connect to reading. The length of the book is perfect for reading time in school.

The sentence structure was terrific for the word level this age group of children can read on. The words are easy to recognize and boldly written.
