All children could benefit from this book

My son really enjoys reading this book a lot. It approaches social situations and appropriate behavior in a written and pictorial method that he can really relate to, and actually enjoys looking at the book and talking about how to do things the 'right way' and 'wrong way'. He loves to pretend to be a space invader now as a joke.

We took it with us on Holiday, and my nephew on his own picked it up and read the entire book. Every parent I know who has seen it, has commented it would also be beneficial for NT children as well.

highly recommended.

It's a "Must have"-Great book for teaching an autistic child

This social skills picture book is instrumental in helping my son learn every day life skills through pictures. I borrowed it from a friend and began using it with him. When she asked me to return it, I decided I needed one too. It keeps my son engaged for at least 20-30 minutes at a time and he is communicating with me through questions and giving answers. I have a lot of books and there are none that quite match up to this one. It's a "must have".

My 7 Year Old Aspie LOVES this book!

My son and I love this book. The stories and photos are highly relevant, and some make my son laugh. He loves to see how the children do the "wrong" thing and then the "right" way, and finds the wrong way highly amusing. HIGHLY recommended!

Excellent resource!!

I work as a Mobile Therapist/Behavior Specialist and this book is great for teaching social skills not only for children on the Autism spectrum, but any children needing assistance in learning or improving social skills. Parents can also join in!!! The pictures are real and the words are easy to understand. The pictures give a visual, reading the book gives the auditory and the pictures show great social cues and non verbal gestures, along with what the person may be thinking. I highly recommend this book.
