The Don't-Give-Up Kid: and Learning Disabilities… von Jeanne Gehret
This book takes you on the journey of this young boy as he learns with a learning disability. This book is very encouraging and information for students.
My personal response to the book: I liked the book. It was a nice and gentle book to show this disability to others.
Curricular connections: The curricular connections includes learning about disabilities. A TL could have this book in the collection for students who may become identified as LD.

Ben's Dad did an excellent job explaining ADD / ADHD in a way kids will understand. The strategies are also practical and helpful. The story built around those points seems disjointed, like they were "thrown in" because they needed to be. Ben is the narrator, but the author brushes past his feelings (namely his low self esteem), and missed an opportunity. The concept is great, but the story is rushed.
Pros: Kids who see themselves as "less than perfect" [forgetful, clumsy, criticized by siblings all the time] may find a friend in Ben.

really well written book talking about learning disabilities. It follows Alex as he learns that he isn't stupid, he has a learning disability, at first he doesn't want to try anything to learn to read because he feels that he's just too stupid, but eventually his mom convinces him to try again in a special class. He comes to learn that it's ok to be different and just because he reads differently doesn't make him less intelligent than anyone else.
