Harry and Willy and Carrothead

Rating:
Summary: Highly recommend
Review: I bought this book to help my 4 yr old son learn about people with a missing limb. My best friend's 9 month old son had to have both hands and feet amputated and I was fearful of how my older son would handle seeing him. We read this quite a few times and really discussed how different people are and about prostethic limbs. When he saw the baby for the 1st time after his illness and surgery, he didn't bat an eye about his disabilities and I feel this book and discussions are the reason why.

Summary: A "must have" book for all children and parents.
Review: Our 2 year old grandson said Harry looks just like he does. But, most importantly, Judith Caseley captures the feelings of parents of children with differences. Before any of us were able to see what we had in our baby we saw what was missing, and were sad and scared. It took a while to be positive. This books reminds us that all children are teased, and although many of us have differences, we are all alike.

Summary: Fabulous!
Review: Our daughter, adopted in Korea, was born without part of her left arm/hand and she loves this book. The first time I showed it to her, when she was only 2-1/2, she said "Just like me!" A must-have for any parent of a child with this type of condition.

Summary: Very Good
Review: This was a very nice book. However, I was disappointed when I found that the main character wore a prosthetic arm, only because my daughter does not. My only concern is that she will read the book and want to know where her new arm is...and we really don't feel that she needs one. Other than that, I thought the book was very well done.
