Editorial Review:

This delightfully illustrated "chapter book," geared for eight-to-twelve year olds, tells the charming tale of five family members (each with a different sensory processing challenge) and their naughty dog, and how they get in sync after a tough day. The book is designed with the action of the story in larger print for younger readers to read or hear. Explanations of sensory processing disorders are woven through the story in regular type, for proficient readers to linger over at leisure.

This wonderful book from the best-selling author of The Out-of-Sync Child and The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun, is a must-have for every family challenged by sensory processing problems.

Excellent, excellent, excellent!:

As a mother of a child who has SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder), I thought that this book was fantastic.

My 8 year old son has Sensory Processing Disorder and loves this book. It is written in first person of a boy who is 10. It is very humorous and enlightening at the same time. His entire family has sensory issues of different sort.
Highly reccommend it.

The Good Enoughs Get In Sync:

It was very interesting as the children in the story shared what activites help them get in sync. What was relaxing and what elements of the activities were useful to relaxation, organization etc. Although I did not notice the age group recomendation I will keep the book as it is useful to the parents and grandma and will become my grandson's book when it is more level appropriate. I say that because he is very advanced when it comes to stories and reading.
