Book Reviews of Lou Gehrig: The Luckiest Man
Book Review: Age appropriate - you decide
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazon does list this book as reading level 4-8. Perhaps the author intended this to be appropriate for 4-year-olds. Adler is a very experienced children's book author (i.e. Cam Jansen series) and would not have unintentionally written it specifically for this age level.
My father was diagnosed with "Lou Gehrig's Disease" at the age of 43. I was 5. A book like this would have been very age appropriate for me. I just wish the only way I had learned about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis was in a book.
