This review is from: A Button in Her Ear (Concept Books (Albert Whitman)) (Hardcover)
As a young woman who grew up with hearing aids, I wish I had a book like this to tell me that I wasn't the only child with hearing aids. I highly recommend educators to have this book in their classroom. I also recommend Living With Deafness by Emma Haughton to support this narrative.

Read to a second grade class,
By A Very Happy Parent (Connecticut) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Button in Her Ear (Concept Books (Albert Whitman)) (Hardcover)
I purchased this book to read to a second grade class. We found out about a month & a half ago that my step-daughter needed hearing aids. This came as a huge surprise to us. Not only did we have to explain all of this to her, but we wanted to teach her classmates what hearing aids are, why she needs them, and how they will help her. This book was perfect! The only issue was that the hearing aid style was outdated (there is no longer a huge box hanging around your neck) but other than that, the book was funny and kept the childrens' attention. It led a discussion and allowed the children to ask my step-daughter sincere questions. No one has made fun of her, and I am told that all of the kids think her hearing aids are 'cool'.

This review is from: A Button in Her Ear (Concept Books (Albert Whitman)) (Hardcover)
I have a job working with children with special needs, so I am always on the lookout for good children's books that can be used in the classroom to introduce peers to specific exceptionalities. In my opinion, this book is dated and not particularly well written or engaging. I bought the book used and didn't hang onto it very long before getting rid of it.
