Wouldn't it be great if kids will be encouraged to help in the house?
Yes. If my toddlers learned from this book that would be wonderful. They've learned from Sigfried's Smelly Socks instead. Thanks for the comment!

I love the children books(i am an adult though😀) and would love to read this book. I think a children book has more lessons for adults than kids and i would definitely love to learn these lessons. Thanks a lot for a thorough and honest review.

Great review. I like your critical observations especially on the illustrations where Toni is reading while is supposed to be saving the cat and also sitting beside the pool instead of swimming.

Thanks for a well-written review of this fabulous children's book that introduces children to the superhero Toni who loves to save the day, but also does ordinary things that children do every day as well! I read and reviewed it a few months ago. It was a delightful read!

Book Lover 35 wrote: 16 Nov 2018, 20:56 I would only make a couple of changes to the story. There is a picture of Tony reading near a stack of books outside. While he is reading it looks like he's saving a cat from a tree. How is he suppose to save a cat when he is concentrating on a book? There should be two separate pictures. One picture should have him saving a cat, and the other one where he is reading. There is also a page that talks about how he likes to swim. I would of had a picture of him swimming, instead of him sitting on the side of a pool.
These are some clever observations. I didn't even think about him swimming on the side of the pool!
Great review :)

I enjoy them as well. I like finding ones that my children can relate to. I like seeing what creative ideas the authors come up with. Thank you for the comment!

It's great that you point out quite precisely who this book could work for. I wouldn't have even thought about reading-out-laud in the classroom.
