I purchased this book for my 9 year-old son. He is the only left-handed person in our household of six. He mentioned that it made him feel different, so I wanted him to be aware that left-handers have some advantages and that there are many famous left-handers. He was very excited to receive this book. He has enjoyed reading it and even said that it made him feel special. My one dislike is that I felt I had to explain to my son that the book is meant to be funny not always literal and that some of the information has been found to be untrue. I read several more recent books on left-handedness that reported that some myths about left-handers have been de-bunked. It would be great if some of those details could be updated and also some updated addtions to the famous left-handers. There have been three more left-handed presidents since it's publication. But I recommend this for any left-hander.
