 A simply fabulous learning experience for children and adults September 7, 2005

I cannot say enough about this book. I purchased this book because my niece has an allergy to peanuts. During a sleep over she wanted to share the book with her friends. Ater our reading of the book I began to realize that not one of her friends understood what it meant to have this type allergy untill the book was read to them. This was a wonderful learning experience for us all. Not only is this book informative but it has fabulous color illustrations that you absolutely do not want to miss. This book needs to be in all schools as it is certainly a learning tool. I highly reccomend that parents consider buying this book .

After reading this book and using it for my literacy class, I bought it into work and shared it with the children. At the daycare center we have many children with allergies, and this book showed them that they are not the only child with allergies, and it helps children without allergies understand allergies. This book explains one childs experience with a peanut allergy. I felt that this book was very imformative, and I recommend it to every parent. I feel that the children at the daycare center had a better understanding about allergies after reading this book. I loved it and I think any buyer will love it too.
Very helpful, not scary! July 1, 2004

This book helped a friend's five year old better understand her peanut allergy. She liked the bright pictures and identified with the main character, whose allergy to peanuts made him feel alone until he learned to deal with it. I've read reader reviews, and it seems that kids either love this book or are afraid of its depiction of an anaphylactic reaction. I think a lot of the reaction may depend upon the parent, and on the way he or she presents the message. For this particular little girl, the book was wonderful. It's a gift I would give again.
 nightmares!! May 10, 2004

After reading this book to my five year old he woke up with nightmares. The book shows a kids "proving" to his friends that he can be around peanuts, with dire consequences. To my kid, who has lived through anaphylactic reactions, this brought up many unpleasant memories. Parents of young kids BEWARE.

This book really helped our son. I was so glad to find it given his allergy and he easily related to the child in the book. The story describes a realistic situation of a kid taking a dare and the consequences that could result. What was really great about it is that we were able to use the story as a good starting point to talk with our son about well intentioned, or not, friends and adults and what he can and should do in different situations. (It is amazing how many times we've encountered people that think, "Just one little peanut can't hurt.") We ended up giving a copy to our son's teacher who used it in his classroom.
