5.0 out of 5 stars My Son Has Eagle Eyes, Too, January 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Eagle Eyes: A Child's Guide to Paying Attention (Paperback)

When we were finished reading the book, that's exactly what he said, "I have eagle eyes, too Mom". The best thing about the book is that it took some of my sons behaviors and put them in a positive light. He too, looked at them almost as a gift rather than a disability. This is one way of getting through these very trying times with behaviors that aren't always easy to handle. He actually wanted me to run out and get more books from this author on this subject so he could see more of himself and his behaviors in print, in the form of a childs book. If you have a child with ADD, this would be a good book for them, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just right, January 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Eagle Eyes: A Child's Guide to Paying Attention (Paperback)

I can't believe the hardcover edition is out of print! This is one of the best books I've read to help the self-esteem of children with Add or LD or any other kind of learning problem.
It doesn't dumb down the criteria. It shows the child being the hero of the story using some of his natural abilities. It also shows some of the techniques he develops for learning. It is a wonderful story for any child with or without a disability.

5.0 out of 5 stars A hero with a handicap., November 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Eagle Eyes: A Child's Guide to Paying Attention (Hardcover)

At last, there is a book that is an entertaining story which any child would enjoy and the hero of the story is a ADD child! Reading this book in my regular education classroom helps the ADD/ADHD children. It also helps the other children have better feelings toward them.
