**Annotated Bibliography: ** //Ten Books about ADHD (Summaries with Help from Amazon.com) // 1.) __Why Can’t Jimmy Sit Still? Helping Children Understand ADHD__   By Sandra L. Tunis   Illustrated by: Maeve Kelly    Jimmy behaves like a wiggle worm. He squirms. He fidgets. He calls out in class. He races and clowns around on the playground and just can't settle down when recess is over and schoolwork must be resumed. Jimmy's mother likens his behavior to a motor stuck in high gear and takes him to see a doctor who gently talks about ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Working as a team, the doctor, Jimmy and his mom institute a plan to help Jimmy take better control of himself and make wiser choices. Insightfully written by a psychologist and former professor of psychiatry who is the mother of a child with ADHD, the book is designed to help and teach kids, parents, educators and caregivers to open discussions about hyperactivity and other learning disorders. It offers coping tips for both children and adults. The comforting, charming rhyming story reassures youngsters with ADHD that they are not to blame for their "racing motors; " they are smart and have their own special talents and skills

The story follows Shelley through some bumpy times at school, on the bus, and with other kids. His worried mother takes him to the doctor, where she and Shelley answer a lot of questions about his behaviour, and he plays with puzzles and blocks -- activities that a child would typically experience during an AD/HD evaluation. After Shelley is diagnosed, the doctor recommends therapy and medication to help control his AD/HD.
