Reader ReviewsThis is a wonderfully written interactive book for all kids -- and adults too! Although the theme about the damage caused by labeling kids is geared toward ADHD, the book and its theme apply to all forms of "labeling" and "name-calling." The story about Buster and his friend Jason is fun and engaging and flows beautifully with the theme. The interactive aspects, including the music CD, made the book a hit with my 9-year old nephew. This book is both serious and fun and will engage and benefit any kid who reads it -- as well as adults who read it with them!
