Summary: Clowns
Review: The Man Who Loved Clowns is about a girl named Delrita Jenson and her Uncle Punky. Punky has down syndrome so Delrita dosen't have many friends because she doesn't want people to make fun of his disability. It is a heart warming story and you they grow on you as if you were really friends with them. I really like June Rae Wood. She is a really good author and i love how her book are so interesting. I really like the story. It makes me feel bad that some people would actually make fun of other people because of a disease they were born with. I have read her other books and they are just as good as this one. I really like this book. Its is one of my very favorite books I have read it a lot of times. It is a really good book you should think about reading it. The only thing I would change is I wouldn't have had both of her parents die. I think it was to dramatic. It is a good book for anyone who likes a sad story.

Review: The man who loved clowns is about Delarita Jenson and her uncle "Punkey". He has Down's Syndrum and therefore Delerita wants to remain invisible. But when a terrible car crash claims Delaritas Parents, she and Punkey are forced to live with her aunt, and her world turns upside-down. While reading this book, I couldn't help but crying. I would recommend this book to every one and any one with a heart.

Summary: This books is wonderful and helpful
Review: This book is a wonderful book to read--It is sad but it also has some funny parts. But the many reason I am writing is to say if you have a son/daughter who has Down's Syndrome this book this book will help you understand what it is. This book will also help your other kids. I love this book. I have a step son with Down's Syndrome. All I can say is this book is the best I have ever read!

Summary: Sibling Support Project
Review: This book reminded me that siblings have the longest relationship with a person with any disability and need support - the parents lives overlap with their children to a certain extent, but a sibling's life overlaps for the whole of their lives. The sibling is just as affected as the person with a disability and their lives are changed too. The Sibling Support Project of the ARC is a great resource for kids who ahve a sibling with a disability ...

Summary: not appropriate for children under 12!
Review: This book was excellent and very well written, but I don't agree with the publisher's 10-14 age range. Certainly the reading level falls within that range, but the subject matter does not. I would recommend it for anyone 13 and older.

Summary: Very Moving
Review: This book was very moving. It deals with a girl whose parents are killed in a car accident. She must come to grips with what will happen to her uncle Punky who has Down's Syndrome now that her parents are not there to take care of him. The author portrays Punky in a very realistic way, but is also careful to use language that a young reader can understand. The reader is able to identify with both Punky and his niece. One word of caution: before letting your kids read this book you may want to discuss the concept of death since it appears several times in the book. It is also a bit of a tear-jerker, but it is also a beautiful story that needs to be told.
