Until there is a better term, it's a great book anyway
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Until there is a better term for Attention Deficit, that's the name kids have to deal with. This is a great book anyway because the child uses his "problem of paying too close attention to minute details" to find his way out of the woods in order to rescue his dad. He is the hero and not a problem child as such. We learn some about his problems and some solutions but this well written story puts us in his shoes in a very understanding and kind way. This reminds me of a new book, Whoa Wiggle-worm by Betsy B. Lee. It discusses kind and unkind nicknames in an entertaining story showing a child learning self-control. A diagnosis is not given. The child might not be ADD or ADHD. The label is beside the point. I hope both books are in print for a very long time.
Just right

I can't believe the hardcover edition is out of print! This is one of the best books I've read to help the self-esteem of children with Add or LD or any other kind of learning problem.It doesn't dumb down the criteria. It shows the child being the hero of the story using some of his natural abilities. It also shows some of the techniques he develops for learning. It is a wonderful story for any child with or without a disability.

My Son Has Eagle Eyes, Too
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
When we were finished reading the book, that's exactly what he said, "I have eagle eyes, too Mom". The best thing about the book is that it took some of my sons behaviors and put them in a positive light. He too, looked at them almost as a gift rather than a disability. This is one way of getting through these very trying times with behaviors that aren't always easy to handle. He actually wanted me to run out and get more books from this author on this subject so he could see more of himself and his behaviors in print, in the form of a childs book. If you have a child with ADD, this would be a good book for them, too.
A hero with a handicap.

At last, there is a book that is an entertaining story which any child would enjoy and the hero of the story is a ADD child! Reading this book in my regular education classroom helps the ADD/ADHD children. It also helps the other children have better feelings toward them.
