Dyslexia ISBN: 9781903285541
'Althea' and Cony, Frances
Published by Happy Cat, 2003
The six children in this information book all have varying degrees of dyslexia, from problems with reading, writing and maths to difficulties in remembering tasks or telling left from right. While the children seem real, the illustrations are drawn in a comic-book style with lots of speech bubbles. Coping strategies are emphasised, and the individual children are upbeat and positive. The faces have a certain 'manic' quality that I found off-putting, but this is not likely to bother children. Very good information paced at a good level.
