3.0 out of 5 stars Welcome to the twilight zone, March 11, 2000

Jason Ard - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Natural Superiority of the Left-Hander (Paperback)

Not what I expected at all. If you are looking for a serious study of the left-hander THIS ISN'T IT. This is a childrens book, however it is a very funny one. The book cracked me up, probably worth what I paid for it. Good to read to children asking about left handers. It even has childrens pictures.

4.0 out of 5 stars My bible growing up..., November 11, 2004

Jennifer F. Slade (Boulder, CO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Natural Superiority of the Left-Hander (Paperback)

As a lefty child, this book was my bible. I searched high and low for a copy last year after realizing as a grow-up that it was still a book I could enjoy. It does a great job of de-mystifying dominant-handedness while dispensing some interesting biological facts about it (how it's a recessive gene, for example.) It's filled with humorous drawings and fun factoids (did you know that Gerald Ford writes left-handed sitting down, and right-handed standing up?) that anyone -- not just a lefty -- will appreciate. As an added bonus, it succeeds in its goal to provide a good source of self-esteem for lefties who feel left-out.
