I dont think there is anything like 5 star rating here. But i guess you meant u enjoyed it much and you will give it a perfect rating. I really enjoyed the book too, but wont give it a perfect rating cause the storyline didnt get to me much.

Toni the Superhero.The motivation behind why I gave this book a four-star rating was on the grounds that I felt that the book was a bit too short. Presently, I realize that this book is equipped towards little youngsters, however I would have jumped at the chance to see Toni accomplish more exercises in this book to extend the story more.

By and large, "Toni the Superhero" is a really delightful kids' book about being a hero exceptionally and this book would be an awesome perused for kids who need to be a superhuman by assisting their loved ones! I would prescribe this book to youngsters ages 3 and up since there is nothing unseemly in this book.

The lack of a storyline was intentional since this book is meant for beginning readers. How do you feel about it for an audience between the ages of 1 and 4? Of course it isn't meant to appeal to adults except from the perspective of would they want their children to read it.

OBC uses 4 star ratings, but 5 stars are common elsewhere. If you aren't a reviewer on OBC, you may not realize the rating system is a little different.

I agree. He is an excellent role model who supports his family. He doesn't shy away from doing chores.

I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars in my review. Toni's helpful nature, healthy habits, cultural activities and lively interactions with his family and friends make his character an ideal one. The children can look up to him as a role model.
The brightly colored illustrations and simple, short sentences make the book immensely attractive to the children.
I believe this is going to be very useful in inculcating good habits in children from a very young and impressionable age.
I found only one thing lacking, that is an interaction section. Adding one could have made the reading experience more engaging for the children.

To cute! I love the vivid, colorful, and fun artwork, page after page as Toni lead the way by great example, showing early childhood readers how to begin to read with easy short words like "Toni likes to read", "Toni likes to play", "Toni likes to help" and so on, all the while their blooming minds absorb, learn and develop these essential skills, which are a fundamental part of early childhood education.

Most importantly, given that Toni is certainly "terrific" and there is not else much not to like and I did not locate any grammatical and typo errors within this short read, I, surely rate this amazing beginner reading book 4 out of 4 stars.

I read this book but yet to review it. But will be giving this book 3 out of 4 star. I really love the illustration and its colourful details. I like the character in toni which i think many children will like to read and have as a super hero. But i felt this book offer less to children as the storyline didnt have much to offer.

I love your view on toni and the book in general. Its quite good for children learning to read and who will just be facinated by colourful illustrations. We are in a fast developing world and quite number of kids learn to read very fast. I felt the author would have added more words to make older children also fansy the book. Love the book though.

An audience of 1 to 4 is okay. But audience of 5-10 can not gain much in it, apart from just colourful illustrations. Okay i got your 5 star rating now. Good we all enjoyed the book despite our differences

It has been a long time since I have read a childrens book. I did find it odd that it was rated so high yet many comments about what the author could have done differently so that alone makes me want to read it.

It also surprised me that someone mentioned that there is a lack of books that model good behaviors for children. When my children were growing up in the 80s there were tons of books like that (Bearenstein Bears) just to name one.

Helen_Combe wrote: 01 Jul 2018, 03:48 I rated this book 4 stars. I love the illustrations, they were colourful and energetic and I like the detail of the depth measurement on the swimming pool. I thought the repetitive nature of the prose would appeal to very young children who can say the first part of the line with confidence and then only have to struggle with the second part. Matching his healthy lifestyle with a superman image was a very good idea. There was nothing about this book that I didn’t like.
I totally agree! I thought that the illustrations were great and I kept stopping to stare and didn't want to go on.
