School Library Journal Review
K-Gr 4-Originally published in 1992 as Russell Is Extra Special (Magination Pr.), this book tells the story of Russell's autism and uses photographs of the boy and his two brothers cleverly overlaid with new artwork. Written by his dad using simple language and engaging photos, the narrative presents Russell's behavior and differences as acceptable and nonthreatening. While basic facts are shared, Amenta is careful to point out that not all children will act in this way as autism has no "typical" behavior. He does indicate that some of these behaviors can be expected from those on the autism spectrum. Notes to parents include tips for finding services and hints for ensuring that siblings of children with autism are not left out. While this book could be used in classrooms, it will prove most useful in families who have neurotypical children as well as youngsters with autism.-Wendy Smith-D'Arezzo, Loyola College, Baltimore, MD (c) Copyright 2011.

Reseña de Publisher's Weekly
First published in 1992 as Russell Is Extra Special, Amenta's picture book gets a significant makeover in the form of lively new artwork from Pollak. The story focuses on Amenta's son Russell at age nine, the ways his autism manifested in his daily life, and how it affected his family. Mixed-media collages incorporate b&w photographs of Russell and his family with naif images of toys, childlike artwork, and background scenery. Extensive back matter offers suggestions for parents with autistic children and provides an update on Russell (now an adult) and his family. An accessible introduction to the outward behaviors often associated with autism. Ages 4-8. (May) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
