Re: The Next Installments in the Series
I think though eating vegetables is a simple task. But children usually avoid veggies. So if children's superhero eats veggies, they will be inclined to eat this too.Shrabastee wrote: ↑23 Jul 2018, 02:45Okay! I take it that veggies are good for a superhero (is anyone else reminded of Popeye and his spinach?), but does he finally show some superhero streaks here? I am also hoping to see the sentence structure become a little more varied.kfwilson6 wrote: ↑17 Jul 2018, 22:07 Here is the book description for Toni the Superhero Loves Vegetables. It definitely sounds like he's not your traditional superhero.
"Kids don’t need reasons to eat vegetables. They need the impulse to eat vegetables, because that’s what superheroes do. When Toni the Superhero eats his veggies, he gets amazing powers, like strong bones for life. With vegetables, Toni wins any fight against dastardly bad guys like germs. Show your kids that plant foods are packed with power, and soon they will be too! Toni the Superhero Loves Vegetables is the second of the Toni tales from author R.D. Base. Keep an eye out soon for book number three. The strongest eyes will see it first, so eat your carrots now!"
I am of the view that the author should progressively add the difficulty level according to the mind of young readers.

Some people have so many relatives that might be a whole book. "This is Toni's aunt," "Toni's grandmother has come to visit," "Toni's dad is home from work." Those are more complex sentences, but I'm sure Base could simplify the introductions. There might even be pets included.Lynsyn wrote: ↑23 Jul 2018, 06:47 I sincerely hope that in the next installments, the author would introduce us to Toni's family, friends, relatives, his neighborhood, and the people around him in general so that it may add more variation to Toni's life and more sentences to learn and understand for kids. Also, Toni showcasing his superpowers even in his mundane life, after all, he's a superhero and that's what makes the child interested in.

Yes definitely, I hope the author makes the next books suitable for the next level of readers,i.e. children who have already mastered the basics.Sarah Tariq wrote: ↑23 Jul 2018, 13:56I think though eating vegetables is a simple task.

Hmm, interesting. First day of school, loosing teeth...no doubt the would like to include all the activities in next series which are not only relevant but also engaging.Eva Darrington wrote: ↑27 Jul 2018, 01:43 I would hope for future installments to be focused on topics that are relevant to the age group.

I love the idea of age-appropriate activities like the first day of school. That is an excellent idea and can introduce children to concepts like bringing a lunch, riding a school bus, sitting in a classroom. There are so many possibilities for Toni. Especially when there isn't really much of a storyline for Base's writing strategy.Eva Darrington wrote: ↑27 Jul 2018, 01:43 I would hope for future installments to be focused on topics that are relevant to the age group.

Well, the book can take different modes. It can be specialized for each activity or all the different activities can be put together. In my view, each book of the series should contain at least 4 to 5 activities, because children like variety.Shrabastee wrote: ↑23 Jul 2018, 01:50This is a very good idea. Gently introducing different verbs, adverbs and more nouns will bring in variation, make it more interesting and will be perfect for the next level of readers,who has already mastered the basics of reading and are looking for more.kfwilson6 wrote: ↑09 Jul 2018, 12:07There could be a sports book where "Toni plays" is a repetitive phrase or a vacation book where "Toni visits" if Base wanted to continue with being very simplistic and having only one verb used in each. She could also begin to add adjectives and adverbs. Toni pets a furry cat, Toni pets a colorful parrot, Toni pets a slimy lizard.

I'm not really sure why the idea of variety is being emphasized so much. My seven year old nephew loves to watch the same show over and over again, and he is more developed than Base's target audience. Children are not that complex. They will flip through the same book 100 times before it loses its entertainment value for them. The difficulty of the book series can be very gradual with only a few new words added and still be incredibly beneficial to children. They are not as easily bored as adults so try to stop looking at if from an adult perspective.Sarah Tariq wrote: ↑30 Jul 2018, 13:08
