I agree with you! Children love to mimic what they have seen. I guess the author is thinking that way to enhance children's cooperation in our household chores.Carly-maricque wrote: ↑05 Jul 2018, 09:26 I think the reason that Toni lacks "superhero abilities" is because the author wants to show children good values like reading, helping around the house, healthy eating, etc. When a superhero is doing these things it makes children want to do them too! When reading this book with my daughter, she was very excited that the superhero did some of the same things she does. It is a relatable book for children!

I think this opinion is spot on. I think all kids should know that they can be super heroes just by being all around good people. No matter their athletic abilities, intelligence etc.Dael Reader wrote: ↑02 Jul 2018, 14:37 I think the author is subtly showing us that you don't need special powers to be a superhero. You can be a superhero to your family and friends by spending time with them and helping them out in ordinary ways. In fact, maybe the willingness to work and play and help others in need is the greatest superpower of all.

I totally agree. There are so many ‘ordinary’ people who are the best super heros of all.Dael Reader wrote: ↑02 Jul 2018, 14:37 I think the author is subtly showing us that you don't need special powers to be a superhero.
