taking seizure disorders to school by Elizabeth Murch (michigan)

I think the price was too high for the information that the book offered. It was a short book for $9.95 plus shipping, so I feel like I didn't get my money's worth. I bought the book to share with my daughters classmates at school & felt it was made for younger children, maybe 1st or 2nd grade students. My daughter has a seizure disorder & is in 3rd grade. Hope this helps

This is a fantastic book for 2nd grade and up. A little over the heads of kindergarten and first grade, I think. We bought one for our school library, one for our child's classroom and one for our home! Great tool for dispelling fear and educating others about Epilepsy!

A great book for helping young children learn about epilepsy

Last year in first grade, we used this book given to us by our Neurologist to teach my daughter and her class about her newly diagnosed seizures. It was most helpful and well received by all. I highly recommend this book.
