ABC this looks like me...

2008-07-05
My daughter is 3 and we got her this book awhile ago. Nothing like having a book of things she is needing to learn anyway...with kids that look like her. She loves it. The pictures are high quality and there is much variety in it. Love the 123 as well.

Nice book

As the mom of a child with down syndorme I bought so my son could see other kids with DS in books. I find myself passing this one over due to it's lack of typical kids too! I would like to see more books showing inclusion and acceptance and not exclusivity.

Fabulous book for ALL kids

Many children's ABC books are so crowded with images that it is easy for kids to miss the main point, i.e., A=Apple. This is a very clear book with great photographs! Most young kids enjoy photos of other children, and this would be a great way to introduce all children to diversity...and disability as a type of diversity to be embraced and not feared.

GRANDMOTHER OF (D FOR BOY) IN THE BOOK

I believe this book is a large step in the right direction for educating the world on Down syndrome, and realizing just how beautiful these children are. My grandson is the first Down's child to ever go through our regular school system and is doing great. You will notice in the book that there are twin combinations, where one twin has Down syndrome and the other doesn't, and there are regular children with the Down's children. All these children are from New York State but various parts of the state, there are a variety of ethnic groups. This book tells a whole other story then just a child learning their ABCs. There is another whole lesson here to be learned. You don't have to have a child with Down's syndrome for your child to get something from this book. Our moto is: They are a child first and Down's second. Another words a CHILD with Down's syndrome, not a DOWN syndrome child. I am very pleased with the positive responses this book is receiving. God bless each and everyone of you who purchased this book. My grandson also thanks you.

Wonderful Book Featuring Children with Down Syndrome

2000-02-29
This is a wonderful ABC book. Each letter has a full page photograph showing a child with Down syndrome in an activity with an object corresponding to a letter of the alphabet. The letter "D" for example, has a young boy with Down syndrome and a dog. The pictures are very colorful and clear. The children are beautiful models. This is a fun book and I highly recommend it. If only they made a hard board edition for little children...
