(4) K-3 First-person sentences describe the sensory overload, difficulties navigating social interactions, and yearning for friends that "Aspies" experience. Stock photos of animals are played for comic effect: the critters hold signs, use speech bubbles, and sport accessories such as eyeglasses. While the design is uninspired, the information is accessible and the animals may be a draw. A useful addition to books about differences.
