Gr 3-6-- Using his own experiences as illustrations, a young boy gives a clear and thorough picture of living with asthma. The text is well organized; chapters cover what asthma is and isn't, how its causes are determined, how it is treated, and, most importantly, how to manage it. The emphasis is upbeat and positive; great care is taken to portray asthmatics as ordinary individuals who can lead normal lives. The book ends with a nice touch; William promises to write to any young asthma sufferer who needs to talk to someone. Sims' cheery turquoise and gray watercolors add humorous touches throughout; asthma is portrayed as a shaggy black fuzzball with big eyes and snaggly teeth. This is the best treatment of the subject currently available. Alvin Silverstein's Itch, Sniffle, and Sneeze (Four Winds, 1978; o.p.) covers a variety of allergies. --Lucy Young Clem, Evansville Vanderburgh County Public Library, IN (c) Copyright 2010.

Fiction: NF Age: 4-6 A child with asthma will find clear information and comfort in this book written by a young asthma sufferer. Basic biological information is included, and misconceptions are addressed. The single color line drawings add little, but the conversational tone lightens an otherwise bland volume. Horn Rating: Recommended, with minor flaws. Reviewed by: mvk (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
Kirkus评论
Eight million children have had asthma attacks while nearly two million are chronic sufferers, according to William Ostrow--the young author who here describes his own experiences with asthma, which began after a bout with pneumonia when he was eight. Asthma isn't catching; it isn't in your head; and it isn't something to be ashamed of, he notes. He also discusses what asthma is, what causes it, how it feels, and what can be done in both the short and the long term. With the help of his coauthor (and mother), he provides clear, helpful information on both medical and social issues. His approach is upbeat and supportive--remembering how alone he felt when he was first diagnosed, William even offers to write to any asthma sufferer who sends him a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Line drawings add humor. An excellent introduction for asthma sufferers and for the general public. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
