Your review does not only include an impressive account of the book but also research data on consumer choice! Also, I like the details you provided on how this book can be just perfect for the intended age group and which skills it may help to develop. This review will undoubtedly help the parents and other potential buyers to make the right choice. Thanks for the review!

I think it's a great book for kids. It's not a typical superhero strory where the main focus of the story is the superpowers of the hero. Your review was really insightful and I really appreciate your work.

Thanks Paul78 for your feedback. Actually I had never reviewed a children's book before so I did a little research on what parents look for in a children's book. That's how I bumped into the research!

Yes the book focuses more on everyday activities than super hero stunts. Thanks for stopping by and giving feedback.

A 2011 survey examining consumer attitudes towards purchasing children’s books reveals that close to 80% of the book purchases are not planned. Of these, 40% are pure impulse! It is almost as if R. D. Base was targeting this enormous proportion of children’s books purchasers in Toni the Superhero! To begin with, she ensures she captures the attention of her audience by a captivating cover picture of a happy Tony in his superhero outfit, with his paraphernalia. Next, she sustains her audience’s attention by fast-tracking Toni’s fun-filled ordinary activities. Being an educational children’s book, the book dwells on life lessons that reinforce positive habits in young children.
I didn’t know that but it’s very interesting! I totally agree that the book is very attractive and it’s an aspect that’s often overlooked in some adult’s books but it’s important to get the attention of the reader and get him to try a great product.
I only wish the book had more of Toni’s superhero activities, to affirm to the children that he really is a superhero. But then again, maybe the lack thereof, of much superhero action provides an opportunity for the child or parent to create his/her own superhero stunts for Toni.
Yes, I find this a little strange and I’m not sure if it’s intentional. Maybe the author will approach Toni’s superheroic aspect in another book, or maybe, as you say, it’s up to the reader and the parent to fill that gap an let the imagination fly.

I loved to read your perspective on this book and I think you add very interesting data, thank you!

Thanks for the great input! I agree having the reader and parents fill in the gap of Toni's super hero stunts gives the book unlimited side dramas!
