Daydreaming of adventures to Mars and the sea causes Sam to miss the bus and words on his spelling test. A doctor's suggestions on how Sam can improve his attention include avoiding junk food, staying organized, and getting enough sleep. While no mention is made of medication or therapy for ADHD, the basic advice and Carlson's child-friendly art make the book a good starting point.
