5.0 out of 5 stars The man who loved clowns (review) : By Kayla Parks, October 20, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Man Who Loved Clowns (Paperback)

Delrita moved to Tangle Nook from a small town. She lived with her mom,dad and uncle Punky. Punky has a disease called Down's syndrome and just turned thirty-five, and it's very unlikely for someone with Down's syndrome to live past forty. Delrita meets Avanelle Shackleford, and her brother Tree. Delrita, and her family pack up and go to Silver Dollar City. While they are there Punky "trades" a clown for clown. That led them to meeting Whittlen Walt. Walt came in handy later when Delrita's parents get in an accident and Walt is there for Delrita, and Punky.
In my opinion this book is an excellent book. It is most definitely highly recommended in my mind.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sibling Support Project, June 25, 2003

Marsha. Melkonian (Warrenton, VA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Man Who Loved Clowns (Hardcover)

This book reminded me that siblings have the longest relationship with a person with any disability and need support - the parents lives overlap with their children to a certain extent, but a sibling's life overlaps for the whole of their lives. The sibling is just as affected as the person with a disability and their lives are changed too. The Sibling Support Project of the ARC is a great resource for kids who ahve a sibling with a disability ...
