Amanda’s Fall

Reviewed by Lydia Dehning (age 6) for Reader Views Kids (3/20)
Amanda’s Fall: A Story for Children About Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) by Kelly Bouldin Darmofal is the story of a little girl named Amanda who is at school in first grade. Amanda likes to play with her friends outside at recess, they like to pretend like they are horses. One day at recess, Amanda rolls down a hill and hits her head on a rock.

I learned a lot about my head from this book. I like the story and how I learned something from it. This will be a good book for anyone to read, especially little kids.

Amanda can’t see the teacher well, she can’t talk to her well, and she starts to shake. Amanda gets taken to the hospital and her parents come, too. At the hospital, Amanda learns that she had a concussion, which is when your head gets hits really hard and your brain moves around. Amanda will have to be careful as she grows up because her concussion might cause problems for her at school. She will also need to be really careful with her head by wearing a helmet while riding her bike and when playing sports like baseball or t-ball. I hope I never get a concussion, and I’ll protect my head by wearing a helmet while I ride my bike and be careful when I play. I learned a lot about my head from this book. I like the story and how I learned something from it. This will be a good book for anyone to read, especially little kids.

A Note from Mom: Lydia didn’t know anything about concussions or hurting your head. From “Amanda’s Fall,” I think she is able to picture what’s going on easier now than if I were to explain it to her. Coming from an author who has experienced a severe head injury, she presented the information appropriately for her target audience. I also like the extra resources in the back of the book, such as symptoms of a concussion and facts about brain injuries. A well-done book

You're already a smart person, you don't need a 1000+ page book to get you started on the web's fastest growing
programming platform. Instead, Learn Python in One Hour delivers on the promise of code literacy while saving
your most precious commodity - time itself. Volkman's innovative programming-by-example approach means you focus
on usage, not mindless detail. Based on the author's sold-out live seminars, you'll see Python's flexible coding
technique in action as we refactor from script to procedural to object-oriented during actual problem solving.

In a twelve-lesson progression, you'll be exposed to this and more:

• Basic file input and output operations, incuding exceptions


• Using functions to compute and return  multiple values


• Basic elements of a class definition and how to call methods


• Lists, dictionaries, sets, and other collections


• Iteration through collections, files, sorted sets


• Searching strings with regular expressions (regex)


• Client and server programs for REST methods


• Using threads in Python for multiple tasks


• CGI-BIN programming for simple HTML Forms processing


• Six most common Python pitfalls

Take the One Hour challenge and see if you too can pick up 90% of syntax and semantics in less time than you probably spend commuting each day.

"rediscover the joy of programming again."
