Reader Comments
What a delight to find a children's book that deals with a complex subject with such clever simplicity and and humour.
Wonderful way the (potentially difficult and threatening) health message is conveyed in a simple, visual and engaging way.
All the titles in this series are great!
Very clever and useful idea.
A good book for educating about ADHD in a simple way
Delightful to read out loud or just read for ones self!
A really positive approach that will help the child feel included in life.
Who can't resist a clover sandwich!!! Not me either.
Good little Zak.
This is a great little book that works on several levels - as a fun storybook, as an educational piece that explains a complicated condition in very simple terms, and with an advice section for adults. Love the illustrations too!
Brilliant book-wonderful illustrations
