Resource Type

Description

Grade 3-6-- A pictorial essay about a boy who feels that he is "dumb" because he is unable to do the things his older brothers do, especially in school. Jimmy, 10, has one friend and a cat with whom he likes to spend time, but is uncomfortable around people, doesn't always do his homework, and is disruptive and generally unhappy in class. Finally, testing reveals that Jimmy has a learning disability--although no specific name is given--and he goes for tutoring; in the end he is proud to take home a good paper. --Margaret C. Howell, West Springfield Elem . School, VA
