Today’s toy review is another book; however, it is a practical book that came about as a result of a conversation with a friend of mine just last week. My girlfriend was telling me that she was having a heck of a time with her youngest and manners and that because of it she was just dreading having the family over for the holidays. I laughed telling her that her youngest is just being a little boy but after our conversation I went to my local bookstore to do some research and walked out with this wonderful book! "Dude, That’s Rude!: (Get Some Manners)" book by Pamela Espeland is not only a great book to teach your little ones some manners and help your older

ones brush up on theirs but it is also a fun book that really appeals to kids on their level. This wonderfully illustrated book shows in pictures and words all sorts of situations that call for the use of proper manners from home to school environments! Not only does this book tell your children how to behave in certain settings but it also tells them what words are encouraged to say as well as what words to avoid in those situations! This one is a great way to help improve your child’s behaviour in social settings and is even the Parenting Media Awards Winner for 2007! This one is recommended for children ages 9-12 yrs; however when read aloud as a family it is a great resource for younger children too!
You can find the "Dude, That’s Rude!: (Get Some Manners)" book by Pamela Espeland over at Amazon.com or you can order from your local bookstore for free in store delivery!

Today’s review is not a toy review but a special book review to bring to light a book which will be helpful for both children and parents of children with Autism. "Caring For Myself: A Social Skills Storybook" by Christy Gast is a book written specifically to explain the "simple" routines that we as adults go through on a day to day basis, while these routines are exactly that, routine, to us, they are often times extremely challenging as well as fear instilling for children who have autism. This wonderful book brings to the forefront the detailed routines which are a mandatory part of taking care of yourself in a way that is both non-threatening and easy to understand.

Each step of each task is broken down in this book with both pictures and with detailed explanation. This book makes simple the tasks which may challenge children with autism by presenting a visual depiction as well as offering a personalized "caring for myself" section of the book. The book also has a special section for parents and teachers at the end of the stories which offer practical advice and ideas for helping to integrate the preceding story in to their child’s life.
You can find "Caring For Myself: A Social Skills Storybook" by Christy Gast over at Amazon.com or you can special order it from your local big name bookstore for free in store delivery!
