The Don't-Give-Up Kid: and Learning Disabilities (The Coping Series)
"Alex is a creative boy who finds it difficult . . . in his first-grade classroom. After he is diagnosed as dyslexic, he is placed in a smaller class, specifically geared toward children with learning disabilities. The first-person text, accompanied by detailed . . . drawings, assures readers that Alex is not stupid—he simply learns things differently—and that he can succeed, once his special needs are accommodated."  —Booklist“Pulls the stinger, heals the sore place, and makes a strong case for the kid.”  — Courier-Gazette“A reassuring theory for the learning-disabled.”  —Contemporary Pediatrics“I've recommended the previous edition ofThe Don't Kidto hundreds of families, but this version is even better. Alex’s new invention is something I can really picture a child making, and his perseverance is typical of a learning disabled child.”   —Teresa Allissa Citro, chief executive officer, Learning Disabilities Worldwide, Inc.
