Informative and a great read for kids by Peter J. Herrigel (Hoboken, NJ USA) 5 Stars
December 04, 2000
This book is terrific. It is great for any child that is in the beginning years of school. It educates the reader about cystic fibrosis and assists children in dealing with classmates or friends who may have cystic fibrosis. My seven year old son thought it was informative and fun to read. There should be more books of this kind.
