I recently bought this book for my two young cousins (3yo & 6yo). One of them struggles with concentration but they managed to sit the whole way through my reading of this and enjoyed it thoroughly. They especially loved the main character, Beep, and thought he was very cute. This was a great book to raise autism awareness in their age group.
As an autistic person, I would have loved something like this to read as a child that shows autism in a positive light and also highlights that i am not alone in my struggles with neurodivergency.
I would highly recommend this book.
