An interesting non-fiction picture book about asthma. The book covers what causes asthma, testing for asthma, how it relates to allergies, and how they are treated. The content is simplified for a young audience.
The book is formatted with short breakout sections with interesting information, charts, bolded terms found in the glossary, and different scenarios of kids with asthma. There are stock photos throughout. Backmatter contains an activity for helping those with asthma, a glossary, and recommended websites and books for learning more.
Overall, a nice presentation of information. Would work well for school reports, for those who have asthma, and those who don’t who are interested in learning more. Pairs well with [book:Allergies|62874354] for a better understanding of allergic asthma.
