Receives Anik McGrory's fun drawings 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Johanna Hurwitz's MOSTLY MONTY receives Anik McGrory's fun drawings as it tells of Montgomery Morris, a first-grader who has asthma, so can't always play like the other kids. Monty wants a pet and new friends, and MOSTLY MONTY reveals his search for both in a fine story suitable for chapter book readers.

Editorial Review:

Six-year-old Monty doesn't have a brother, a sister, or a pet. What he does have is asthma, which sometimes makes it hard to breathe and often makes him feel like he'd rather be somebody else. And now that he's starting first grade, he's very nervous about being with all those kids he won't know. Luckily, he loves to read -- even really hard books -- and has a talent for finding things, from a cocooning caterpillar to classmates who want to be in his very own Kangaroo Club.

In this appealing story for early chapter book readers, a shy boy with asthma starts first grade and gains the self-confidence to come into his own.

Editorial Review:

Classified as an inspirational memoir, "My Little Drummer Boy" is the unforgettable story of the tragic death of the author's 12-year-old son, a death the author later learned could have been prevented, if only his doctors had realized the risk he was in ... a risk, she discovered, that was faced by hundreds of other children every year.

This is the inspirational story of how the author, just an "ordinary housewife" with no medical training at all, confronted the entire medical establishment -- from local doctors to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration -- to help put warning labels on certain drugs and get approval for a chickenpox vaccine, so all children would be protected. Calling upon her abiding faith in God, Rebecca Cole is relentless in pursuing her goal.

"My Little Drummer Boy" is a book no reader will ever forget. From the sweet little boy who could have been anyone's child, to the gruesome details of his death, to the author's courageous fight, this is a page-turner that is almost impossible to put down.

Editorial Review:

Here is a book for younger children who live in households where the first language is Spanish. The child in this story suffers from asthma, a chronic condition that sometimes produces frightening attacks. But kids learn that with proper medical supervision and treatment, asthma can be kept under control, and kids who are affected by it can live happy, active, and normal lives. As preschool and early-grades children read these illustrated ¿Qu© sabes acerca de…? (What Do You Know About? Books) or have them read to them, they will be encouraged to explore their own feelings about problems that might be bothering them, or to find answers to a wide array of questions that puzzle them. The books have appealing color illustrations on every page, and each title features a short section of advice to parents. What Do You Know About? Books are available in both English and Spanish language editions.

Editorial Review:

Pediatric Allergy, Asthma and Immunology reflects the rapid progress in one of the most intriguing fields of medicine. The book offers state-of-the-art information on basic immunology, fetal-neonatal immunology, genetic and environmental predisposing factors, epidemiology and natural history of atopic diseases, and allergy diagnosis. Extensive coverage is devoted to skin conditions and food allergy, asthma, rhinitis, specific immunotherapy, eye disorders, sinusitis and secretory otitis media, drug allergies, and anaphylaxis. Fascinating chapters explore such topics as autoimmune diseases, primary immunodeficiencies, pediatric HIV infection, malnutrition and the immune system. Finally, a chapter on prevention of the atopic march indicates how effective early intervention may greatly decrease the upsurge in atopy. Easy to understand and easy to use, Pediatric Allergy, Asthma and Immunology is essential reading for medical students, practicing physicians, allergists, immunologists, and researchers.

A girl tries to live her life even as death hangs over her. 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

Most of the time, ten-year-old Lizzie Baker is happy with her family's life on the Tennessee frontier in the 1790s. Except for every fall, when Lizzie's asthma becomes so terrible that she can barely breathe. And this fall, it was so bad that Lizzie nearly died. The doctors and the local midwife try several treatments, but none of them really seem to work. Lizzie resigns herself to dying, and decides to just try and enjoy the year she has left until next fall, which she surely won't survive - each fall, her asthma gets worse and worse, and she couldn't possibly survive an attack worse than the last one. Lizzie enjoys spending time with visitors to the community - a wealthy surveyor and his wife and son. The wealthy family, the Beaumonts, live by the sea in South Carolina. Some people say that the sea air might help Lizzie's lungs. When the Beaumonts offer to adopt Lizzie and take her to South Carolina, she must make a choice - stay in Tennessee, where she will surely die but with the comfort of her family nearby, or go far away where she could still die, far from home? I highly reccomend this book. It's a great historical novel and an inspiring story about a young girl's amazing courage and determination. I don't think I could ever be as brave as Lizzie.

Editorial Review:

In 1791 after her family's journey from Pennsylvania, ten-year-old Lizzie suffers from the disease of asthma in her new home in the Southwest Territory (present-day Tennessee).
