Although fictional, "Alfie's Attack" is an educative book which can be read by children as well as parents. That being said, I think children will have to be assisted by elders so that they don't misunderstand the message the author is trying to put forward. The story will definitely inculcate the feelings of sympathy and will let the kids know about the difficulties all the asthmatic people face. Nice review!

I love how they illustrate the story, as lot of children have asthma and this book would be an invaluable read for those little ones with it who are frightened of what they have.

What an innovative way to present asthma to children, through a story that portrays the causes and triggers. I found it both unusual and entertaining to find that a fish represents this illness.

"Alfie's Attack" by David Bohline reveals the new-found control over the previously known deadly diseases. If promptly managed, drifting from one's usual abode into the Deep Sea nothwithstanding, health challenges, Asthma inclusive, are now walk-overs. Congratulations on being BOTD. Beautiful review.

This is a wonderful way of introducing Asma and its management to kids, starting from a very young age and even to parents and care givers who were not able to explain it before. It was an informative and well-written review. Thank ypu.

Asthma is a delicate problem, especially when it concerns a child. Asthma and the fish that suffers from asthma are two things that make the reader reconsider life that some people are not used to, but others have become convinced that real life must be convincing. Yes.

It sounds like "Alfie's Attack" by David Bohline is a fantastic resource for both children and caregivers! By using the story of Alfie the fish, the book seems to creatively teach about asthma, making the subject accessible for young readers. The combination of an engaging narrative and helpful illustrations likely helps children better understand the condition and how to manage it. It's great to see books like this raising awareness and offering support in an educational yet entertaining way. Would you like to explore any specific themes or details from the book?

Alfonso Fish, with his shiny scales and charming smile, appears to have everything going for him. However, he must manage his asthma, which can suddenly worsen. This story involves a dolphin rescue team, a doctor known as D'Octopus, and a fierce shark, all of whom play a role in a tale where Alfie's asthma actually saves his life. With engaging illustrations and an exciting story, this picture book offers a meaningful and educational experience for the many families dealing with asthma.
