I think, adding simple questions will not detract kids from reading this book. Parents can use these question on their own to teach children.Kendra M Parker wrote: ↑13 Jul 2018, 16:00 I think that discussion questions are completely unnecessary for this book. The author's intention was not to spur discussion, but to teach kids to read. In a book where discussion is important, sure, I support the inclusion of questions. For this one, the discussion should be left to the parents to decide what and how much to discuss with their kids.

Yes, this is a point. Addition of question answer session is good but it should be kept as simple as possible. As the target children are just of ages 1 to 4.Morgan Jones wrote: ↑22 Jul 2018, 12:29 Considering that the book is between ages 1 to 4, I think it would be beneficial to add a section where Toni lists the lessons he learned - since the children could find it hard to understand. If the book was made for older children (between 4 and 8 for example) then I don't think it would have mattered.

No matter, who arranges the question answers session whether parents or a teacher. But if the author adds it in the next book. Children would surely enjoy it.

Definitely the main goal of this book is reading, and the author will focus on it. So if adding question is not required, it addition will not divert the tempo otherwise.Jkhorner wrote: ↑17 Jul 2018, 08:08 I don’t think it would hurt to add a question/answer section in the back of the book as an option for parents. That being said, I appreciate the other commenters pointing out that the goal is learning to read, not learning to do chores. So maybe it’s not necessary, but it wouldn’t hurt.

Personally, i feel it's essential to add the question feature because it will help make the concept in the book more clearer.Kibetious wrote: ↑11 Jul 2018, 08:31 Reading this book, one can realize that there are quite a number of lessons to be drawn from it. However, these lessons may prove hard to point out for the kids. Should there be a section where the reader is asked to point out lessons learned or perhaps, in the end, asked whether Toni is a superhero and give reasons for the answer?
Would like to hear get comments on this.

I agree. I think the target audience is a little young to have discussion questions added to their stories.pricklypurple wrote: ↑22 Jul 2018, 07:43 I think that would make it a different style of book completely. I don't think it would add to it. Parents or teachers can come up with their own questions in the end if they need or want to.

It couldn't hurt to add them at the end on their own page where the parent/educator could opt to use them if he wanted.Jessica Reehl wrote: ↑25 Jul 2018, 13:47 I loved having a few really great comprehension questions for my kids when they were reading on their own for us to discuss. I'm not sure they loved them but it was helpful for me, the educator, to make sure they understood what they were reading.
