Houdini’s Gift
Third title in The Coping Series
Author: Jeanne Gehret, M.A. Illustrations by Michael LaDuca
Revisiting well-loved characters from Gehret’s book Eagle Eyes, this picture book presents animal-loving Ben with the challenge of having another pet after losing his pet hamster. Knowing that Ben is not ready to care for a new pet, his parents help him develop responsibility and readiness by using a reward chart. Young readers will enjoy sharing the secret that Mom keeps from Ben through the whole process of selecting and preparing for the new pet. The advice within the story shows how families living with ADHD or learning disabilities will gain strength by fine-tuning desired behaviors through setting and pursuing goals.This child embodies the nature intelligence of the Multiple Intelligences theory.
