Title: First autism book?
Review: It's amazing how prescient this book is. To those of us with children on the spectrum, it's obvious Louie has some form of autism, and it's just impressive how forward thinking Keats was to write about it in 1975(!) when nobody even acknowledged the condition. I love the subtle way he presents Louie's differences and the other kids reactions to them. Very true to life. As far as the storyline goes, it's not that exciting, but any book written for children who are a bit different is fine by me!
