Don't bother! 
2000-04-08
Mr Tocci was a high school science teacher and writes about people with Down syndrome as though they were science projects. He does not bother to identify any people pictured in the book, just labels them as specimens, eg "a young person with DS enjoys time with friends" I realize the book was written for young people and that the language is simplistic but he also has his facts wrong. Down syndrome is not an inherited condition. I think that the author means well which is why I have stretched to 2 stars. He has covered the topic thoroughly. He speaks about treating people with Down syndrome as individuals yet through his writing style he does just the opposite. Generalizations abound in this book. I would avoid it as there are many better available.
