"All Kinds of Minds"
Thank you Dr. Levine. This is a great book. I spent the winter school break reading this book to my 11 year old. We had some great discussions about it. Not only did he find himself among the pages of the book, he found many of his friends too. He learned that everyone has strengths and weaknesses in learning. He realized that he is fortunate to be getting extra help in learning and that many of his friends could use help too. It helped him to feel less "different". I think this book should be mandatory reading in the schools. It would help kids to realize our differences and teach them to be more tolerant of each others' learning styles. Thank you again Dr. Levine.

"BIG disappointment!!"
Terrible. I had NO idea this would be a juvenile book written specifically for children. When I heard Mr. Levine on the radio, this was not mentioned. It's so boring, I couldn't continue even though his spoken message was excellent and one I had hoped to learn more about in the book.

"Darlene-Mom who needed help explaining learning Disabilites"
I found this book very informative, and down to earth. It helped me understand much of the Mumbo Jumbo the experts tell you after they advise you that your child is learning disabled. It gave me an effective way to teach my child, that he is not "stupid" and just thinks differently. It gave easy understandable ways to help the child cope with his/her disabilites. Great stratergies to improve their skills. It may have been written for children, but I found it very helpful. I would highly recommend it.

"Great for all types of Minds!"
I read this book to my 6 year old. Both of us loved the stories about the children and their stengths and weaknesses. Instead of feeling so "different", my child's self esteem soared after reading this book. I recommend it to all families, educators and children who think they are the "only ones" who can't achieve one thing or another. Thank you Dr. Levine!

"Learning disabled kids come to terms with their disability."
Children with learning or social disabilities often suffertremendous loss of self-esteem. This book, written from theperspective of 5 elementary students who share a class at their neighborhood school, enables a young reader to gain insight and understanding of their "kind of mind" as they come to terms with either attention deficit disorder, dyslexia, language disorder, social or motor skills deficits. Honestly and sensitively written, each child discovers the unique strengths which enable him or her to overcome the difficulties caused by having a "different" kind of mind.
