Review: Engaging, predictable, and perfect for preschoolers with autism! - In my autism preschool classroom, The Busy Little Squirrel has become a favorite read-aloud. The simple storyline and repetitive structure make it especially accessible for children who thrive on predictability. Repetition & rhythm: The recurring question (“Squirrel, Squirrel, what are you doing?”) helps students anticipate and join in, supporting language development and confidence. Visual support: Bright, clear illustrations provide strong visual cues, which are helpful for children who benefit from concrete images. Seasonal connection: The autumn theme ties beautifully into classroom discussions about nature, animals, and routines. Attention span friendly: The short text and engaging pictures keep students focused without overwhelming them. Social-emotional learning: The story encourages conversations about being busy, having jobs to do, and preparing for changes—concepts that connect well to daily routines. This book works wonderfully in small groups, circle time, or one-on-one reading. It’s durable as a board book and inviting for little hands to explore independently. Verdict: A simple, engaging story that supports language, predictability, and seasonal learning. Highly recommended for autism preschool classrooms and home libraries alike!
Review: Lovely illustrations - Lovely illustrations and very nice book for baby

Lovely illustrations and very nice book for baby

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun Fall Book
*by M***N on December 28, 2024*

I teach infants and toddlers and was looking for a cute and quick book about Fall - this did not disappoint. The story was cute, there weren't an overload of words, and my kiddos loved pointing at the pictures and babbling.
