K-Gr 2-A picture book designed to give children with attention deficit disorder the words to explain their condition to themselves and to others. Each page includes a large color photograph usually accompanied by a sentence or two of text. The first half of the book describes some of the symptoms-"Sometimes it's hard to pay attention"-and the result: "My coach is always hollering at me." Next, the author mentions techniques that help-one assignment at a time, a tutor, a quiet corner-each with an appropriate illustration. A note for adults defines the disorder and comments on recent research. The concept is admirable but the simplicity of the language suggests a preschool audience (as do the cover pictures), and conflicts with the interior pictures of older children. Kathleen M. Dwyer's What Do You Mean I Have Attention Deficit Disorder? (Walker, 1996) tells the story of a sixth grader's experience in a less condescending way.-Martha Gordon, formerly at South Salem Library, NY
