I got this for my granddaughter who has autism. I read it and thought it was written more for non-autistic kids. However, my daughter told me it was great for my granddaughter as well. And, she lives thus author and has other Dragon books already. ??

My almost three year old has autism and has started realizing social interactions with friends are not what she expects sometimes. This book covers what a child with autism experiences, as well as their friends, in a way most children can understand. While my daughter does not yet understand autism, she can relate to Mike's reactions. I think that helps her to not feel like her reactions are wrong. A wonderfully written guide in a friendly disguise!

I absolutely love this book. It's very catchy and it does a very good job of explaining autism in terms for small children. The pictures are cute and I love the fact that it Rhymes and it's fast paced. I ordered this book because we are doing an Autism Awareness event at my son's kindergarten class and I needed a book that was on their level. I am very pleased with this book and I intend to order two more copies to donate to each of my kids school library.

I work with autistic kids every day and this is an awesome book for those that are looking to explain to other children how they might be a good friend to an autistic child. My favorite part was "we don't have to be the same to be fair". This is a concept many adults have yet to grasp, so teaching it to kids at such an young age is amazing. Great job Steve Herman!

My son is autistic and I got him this book to help him understand it a little bit better. He loves it so much. He was so excited to see himself in a book character.
