5.0 out of 5 stars A fabulously delightful story for young children with ADHD., June 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Eukee the Jumpy Jumpy Elephant (Hardcover)

I wanted a simple, enjoyable book for my six year old son who was diagnosed with ADHD and my doctor recommended this one. I am glad I took her advice. My son and I read it over and over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars We LOVE Eukee, April 15, 2008

This review is from: Eukee the Jumpy Jumpy Elephant (Hardcover)

My 7 year old son loved this book and I was thankful to have found it quite by accident. Halfway through the book, he turned to me and said 'We have something in common; I can not sit still and I feel jumpy inside.' And I watched as he teared up when Eukee talked to the doctor about having trouble with friends. By the end, when Eukee is excelling with his sticker chart, my son was ecstatic as he talked about his own behavior plan. It opened the door to a wonderful conversation about learning challenges and differences.

1.0 out of 5 stars A great... book?, October 3, 2000

This review is from: Eukee the Jumpy Jumpy Elephant (Hardcover)

This is truly a fantastic resource for the ever increasing number of "jumpy jumpy elephants" in american households. If your child is an uncontrollable hyperactive mess of energy, order your copy today. However, I feel it is incorrect to call this listing a book, as that would require at least 2 pages. This might be more accurately described as a "hardcover pamphlet" or a "cruel joke for people with too much money and bad parenting skills".
