Ok so I've read a number of books by Vanita Oelschlager. Some good, some bad. I didn't know what to expect with this one but I figured I'd give it a shot so I snagged a copy from *NetgalleyKnees tells the story of a little boy with dyslexia. He tries to explain what it is and then goes on to telling how he tries to find things he is good at. He finally finds basketball and he is quite good at it.While my son doesn't have dyslexia he could still relate to the problems that the little boy had. I've stated before how my son is learning disabled so he understood the boy having to work extra hard about having a "special teacher". Though my son has multiple "special teachers".My son did well with this book and his favorite part was when the boy would fall on his butt playing kickball. Again my son has the sense of humor of any other normal little boy. Put in a fart joke or have someone landing on their butt and he'll crack up and think it was the brilliant written piece of literature to grace this earth.I enjoyed this book a lot more than the other books I've read by the author. I think she did a great job explaining dyslexia and keeping the book interesting enough that it is not limited to just kids with dyslexia or other special needs. I think a "normal" child would have no problem reading and enjoying this book. I also thought that the illustrations were top notch.4 out of 5 stars.*I received a free copy of this ebook from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion**This book was read with my special needs son who is severely learning disabled. The review reflects not only my opinion but his as well
The Kid Says"This book was very interesting. It is about a boy that has dyslexia. Which means if you see words like DOG you could see it like BOG. I think that this book could have been a little longer but, that made it a very quick read. I liked that the cover was very colorful. It makes it sand out.What Mom Says:I think this book is a very nice that makes having something like dyslexia seem not so bad. That you can be strong and do good in school. You just have to work hard. This book gives them the opportunity to read a somewhat longer book with pictures on every page and simple to read words. I also love that the pictures are not colored in. My daughter is going to have a very fun time coloring in all of them.I think this book would be great for kids who have dyslexia as it will show them that there is nothing wrong with them. They just may need to take extra time to do their work and pay a little more attention.You can check out more of our Kid and Mom reviews at [...]
I have enjoyed the children's stories regarding dyslexia. These children are often very bright, but just have a different set of skills that are valuable. It is good for a young child, whether being read to or reading it.
This was a cute book about a child learning to come to terms with his dyslexia in a positive manner. I found it fun and amusing to read as well as being uplifting in nature. Louis did not let his disability keep him down or discourage him. Instead he worked hard in school and searched for something he was good at to keep him happy. This is a great book to teach children they can overcome anything as long as they try hard enough!***This book is suitable for grade school readers on up
