I read and reviewed Toni the superhero. It is an awesome illustrative children's book. What I like the most about the book is that it is the simple activities that Toni does that make him a superhero. I would recommend this book to all children aged below 5 as it is an awesome one.

The book based on the numerous comments and review scores it has received deserves a 4 out of 4 stars rating. The use of repetition and inclusion of numerous activities instead of one long story is what gives it more uniqueness. Concentrating on one simple thing would have made Toni appear a master in that particular thing and not a superhero. Therefore, I still give it 4 out of 4.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars, simply because it is a great book for the youngest readers. The illustrations are very amusing, and children can have fun while looking at them and reading the book. This way, they develop their reading and speaking skills. What I liked most is the idea of a superhero, which is very appealing to children. I recommend this book to all young learners.

I rated Toni The Superhero 4 out of 4 stars. I think the author’s use of simple sentences, sight words, and repetition was smart. It is an excellent book for teaching little children how to read. I also liked that the colorful and lively illustrations included diverse characters. Yes, I would recommend this book to children in preschool and kindergarten.

I really liked this book, it aims towards helping with chores and being an active child. Toni is a very energetic child that does a lot. The story is simple enough for beginners to get a hold on and the illustrations are beautiful. I rated the book a 4 out of 4 stars and I kind of wish I had a younger child in my family to buy it for.

I would recommend this book to parents who want their young children to get a start on reading and the lower grade levels to put on their book shelves.

I personally have not read this book yet, but from what I have read about it in comments and the review I will read it when I get the chance. I think we need more books that will install values and teach manners to the children of today. Also any book that will give the gift to a child of the Love of Reading, I am all for.

What I liked most about a book on the cool superhero was its simplicity and ease of language. My inner child absolutely loved it, but the grown-up in me found it too short.

I gave this book 4 out of 4 stars. Simply because it was an easy read for beginners and the character himself is a role model for the kids.

I wish Amazon had a preview of this book. I'm interested to see it because it had such high ratings in all the OBC reviews. It's hard to find a book with a perfect 4-star rating. I appreciate that there are some more diverse opinions in this thread. One good thing I can point out is that there is a person of color on the cover, and there is a big movement in children's literature right now about how "We Need Diverse Books!" So, this one definitely fills a need, if, for nothing else, a diverse character. I am going to try to read more about the book to see if it's one I want to actually purchase.

I am extremely confused on the reactions to this book. I am the mother of two and reading is a large part of the household. I found the idea behind an everyday super hero intriguing however the book fell flat. The book feels haphazard in both illustration and writing. There is not even a basic storyline. The illustrations while colorful are out of proportion and seem childish. For this I rate the book a 1 out of 4.

I love this book so much especially when it's so useful to our children. The illustration were well classified . I know more children would love to be read such a book and I would recommend it to parents to read it loud for there young stars. I will definitely rate this book 5 stars out of 5. Thanks for the review

I would give the book a quick 3 out of 4 stars. Tony is a model character, though he isn't possessed with the supernatural powers.

I loved it. I gave it 4 out of 4 stars. Children love superheroes but through this book, they get to learn that superheroes participate in chores, eat healthy and read just like them 😊
