Title: Disappointing- although terrific illustrations
Product review: I purchased this book because I work with a boy whose younger brother has autism. He is having a hard time understanding why his little brother gets all of the attention. I was hoping this book would shed some light for him. Sadly, I am not sure that presenting this book will help. The author appears to have been more concerned with adhering to the rhyme scheme than to effectively conveying any well-meaning ideas. I felt the "Yoda-esque" writing style was distracting and could likely confuse less than stellar readers or those with reading comprehension difficulties. Well meaning as the work is, I would not recommend this for young readers who want to learn more about autism. The editor did not do his/her job well at all.
