Smart We All Are
13 Jun 2005
Format:Hardcover
Written as a children's book, Dr. Hallowell's message is an important one for all ages. As Yoda would say, "Smart we all are, in our own way." The "plot" is weak. When would we ever see a "brain" walking in the rain looking for his head? My 5-year-old great niece will surely say, "That makes no sense." But, the message makes sense and the lesson is a powerful one: "No brain is the same, no brain is the best, / Each brain finds its own special way." Being smart cannot always be measured by a test, and we must play to find our brain's way. In too many homes, watching TV and videos consumes active play time. In our schools today, recess is being taken away to make more time for tutoring and testing. This story reminds parents and teachers about the importance of play as learning. Parents and educators need to hear Dr. Hallowell's message and make changes at home and in school that promote our kids' physical, mental, and intellectual development. The discussion guide at the end makes suggestions for doing so.

Kids Loved It
6 Oct 2004
Format:Hardcover
I know Ned Hallowell and like his work, but this review is actually from my kids - they loved it! The message is simple and right on - no one type of brain is superior - all are special and you just need to find out at what. Our family also had fun using the discussion guide at the back of the book and talking about what our own brains do best. This story is a gem!

A Walk in the Rain with a Brain
30 Sep 2004
Format:Hardcover
This book is fantastically right that every brain/person is special, no brain is better than any other, and Smart is just a word made up by brains that wanted power. This book fosters the idea of individuality and learning through play which is the way we all learn. I use it in my Brain Gym work with people of all ages. Wonderful illustrations.
