Summary: can't sit still!!
Comment: Nope, can't do it. Patrick just can't sit STILL! My favorite lines from the book (p. 1-4): "These are chairs. Patrick knew 101 different ways to sit in a chair. Because he knew so many ways to sit in a chair, he heard two words a lot... SIT STILL!"
Sounds like my autobiography...
Well, you can imagine that his difficulty in sitting still has the tendency to upset all those around him who don't have this problem (note: MOST adults don't have trouble sitting still while many children DO). And yes, Pat DOES go to see the doctor.
In all fairness, it's not stated anywhere that he has ADD, though one can easily imply this. The doc doesn't pump him full o' Ritalin, and yes, the 101 different things for Pat to do may be oversimplistic for children with ADD. However, there is a sad void of GOOD, non-clinical books for children who have trouble sitting still, whether or not they DO have ADD (most of the one's I've seen, like "Shelley, the Hyperactive Turtle" address specific disorders in an overly lets-look-at-your-disorder sort of way).
However, buyers should note that the book is not very multicultural. Pat and his traditional, nuclear family is White, and only a half dozen, parenthetical characters who play no real role are of color. Overall, though, the book is an excellent one and should NOT be limited only to children who are diagnosed with ADD OR have trouble sitting still all the time!

Summary: Wonderful book about acceptance of a disability
Comment: Any parent or teacher who have hyperactive or ADD/ADHD children will appreciate this book. It belongs in every classroom. It's upbeat and put the disability in a positive way instead of the usual negative.
