Critics Review

Winston Wallaby Can’t Stop Bouncing is an appealing and truly useful book for kids with hyperactivity. Children quickly identify with the hyperactive main character and are drawn in by the story and illustrations. Adults will find the advice portion of the book to be a treasure of well-organized tips and suggestions. – Joel Shaul, LCSW is the author of The ASD Feel Better Book and other books for children on the autism spectrumThe authors offer us a gem of a book in the spirit of Dr Seuss. I saw my youngest son jump from the pages as the story of Winston taught the valuable lesson of how to support bouncy children (Wallabies) in the simplest of ways to help them be successful. It really touched my heart. – Brian R. King, MSW, ‘The Compassionate Dad’This book is perfect for all children to understand ADHD, SPD and ASD. It cleverly explains how Winston wants to control his actions and the frustration at not being able to. It then explains how including “movement breaks” helps him to be able to learn. It is delightfully written and includes fabulous illustrations - children are going to love Winston. – Sue Larkey, Teacher, Author “Making it a Success”Winston Wallaby ! What a great book to help young people, parents/carers and educators about living with ADHD!. A fun story and very clear advice and support materials. I love it. – Ros Huntley B.Ed., M.Ed, ( autism children) Specialist Teacher for Autism and Social Communication, Essex
