I loved this book and feel it would be very a very valuable resource in my class. It is not a story book, more so a insight into a dogs life. However this is done in relation to someone with ADHD. I feel this is a brilliant way to get children to understand SEN in school. It makes connections such as ... "his mind works better when his body is in motion" which I feel gives children an understanding to the disorder and may resolve questions they often wondered about other children eg why doesn't she/he sit still!?There are fun friendly pictures of dogs throughout and the words are nicely laid out, thus good for early and independent readers. As a result I have bought this book myself for my class and another which is in the series called "all cats have Asperger syndrome" which again I feel is a great way to discuss SEN in the classroom. I saw a picture of the front of this book on the Internet somewhere and thought it was a joke, as it IS very funny (and very true). The inside of the book is a kids' book aimed at celebrating (or at least de-weirding) some of the quirks of ADHD. (See also All Cats have Asperger Syndrome.) And really, they do (the dogs, as well as the cats.) And we love them as they are, right? Not a bad thing to remember. For younger kiddos, certainly.
What do You think about All Dogs Have ADHD (2008)?
Loved this one as much as All Cats Have Aspergers
