From Booklist:

Ages 3-6. The team that created the A. D. D. Book for Kids [BKL Ap 15 00] offers another title to help young children understand themselves and their abilities. Using Dr. Howard Gardner's work about multiple intelligence as a framework for the text, Rotner and Kelly portray young children with linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, and interpersonal talents. Clear, full-color photographs depict children in a variety of activities--swimming, spelling, playing the violin, etc.--as simple text lets children know whether the activity is something the pictured child does well, has trouble with, or is in the process of learning. The message (everyone is good at something) comes through strongly, as does the authors' encouragement to continue working toward mastery of more difficult skills. This will be useful in preschool and kindergarten classrooms that focus on celebrating students' strengths and learning styles. Buy a second copy for the parenting shelf. Kay Weisman
