Features: aimed at 3 - 7 yr olds; appeals to all children, well and ill; experienced author; great stories and illustrations; information and advice for parents. It is a large and a growing series.

Customer Reviews

a dr. spot casebook zak has adhd
great story, helping kids understand how they are unable to sit still, and how other kids see them,

The best ADHD children's book I've found
This is a lovely book, which my children clamour for. Zak is a very compelling character, and the detailed information about ADHD is cleverly sneaked into a funny and beautifully illustrated story.
