This book is actually funny. It hits
on the aspects of ADHD perfectly, right
down to the angelic little sister who can
do no wrong. There are some words in the
book I wish were not there, like stupid
and crazy. I bought it to read to my 5
year old who is ADHD, but with no
learning disablities...yet. So I figure
we will skip the part on learning
disablilities, and being given less
homework from the rest of the class. Use
it for a tool to help explain what we are
doing as a family to address the ADHD,
and help him control his behavior. Read
it first, cut out what you don't think
applies or needs to be heard by your
child. The book is mostly informative,
and really funny.

A great, down-to-earth
kid's view of ADHD!, August 3, 2000
I bought this book for my 6-year-old
nephew and will read it to him when he
comes to live with us soon. I can't wait,
because it is so simply written and
straightforward, I'm sure it will help
him understand what we have not been able
to tell him about his ADHD condition. It
is entertaining, and because it is told
in a kid's point of view, it shows ADHD
with concerns that kids would have that
adults might not have even thought of. I
recommend it if you're trying to find
just the right way of reaching your child
or student!
