Mother asked Suzanne what she wanted and-to everyone's surprise, Kevin ate a French fry off of the tray of the man sitting at the booth! Kevin reached over the table and acted as if he did nothing wrong.

"Kevin!" mother scolded. She didn't know what to say.

As Kevin quickly gobbled the French fry, the man and his wife looked at him frowning. The man leaned back in his seat.

Kevin Carlson (Tucson, Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Poems and Short Stories about My Brother Kevin Who Has Autism: Entertainment for Boys and Girls Ages 6 to 10 (Paperback)
My brother's book has 6 stories about me. I drew illustrations. This stories is true. I stole a french fry are McDonald's and cut my own haircut. Other stories about Cheez Puffs, our dog Duke, my bicycle and flying beetle. The people where I work like my book. There is a poem about Mrs. Post, my aide at my old school. I drew illustration of her. I drew a dogs, my family, animals and my own cartoon characters. I like how the book is turn out. It's nice when the people read about me and see my illustrations.

This review is from: Poems and Short Stories about My Brother Kevin Who Has Autism: Entertainment for Boys and Girls Ages 6 to 10 (Paperback)
Richard Carlson is to be commended, along with his brother Kevin. The drawings throughout this book are delightful, as are the stories told with such direct simplicity. This book, along with others in the Richard Carlson collection, should be required reading in schools. Children will love it. Every one of the stories will grab their interest. It will make a terrific present.

Carol Kluz is a coauthor of Carol Randy suspense and solo author of fantasy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poems and Short Stories about My Brother Kevin, July 1, 2002
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Poems and Short Stories about My Brother Kevin Who Has Autism: Entertainment for Boys and Girls Ages 6 to 10 (Paperback)
This book was great! It has some poems and short stories from MY
BROTHER KEVIN HAS AUTISM and there are new ones. I
felt lots of emotions reading this book like when Kevin fell in the icy
cold water and he couldn't swim. I felt really bad for him.
There were funny stories too. There was a lot of information about what
Autism is and now I understand it a little better. I would
like to meet Kevin to tell him what a great job he did with the
illustrations. I think this is a wonderful book for kids of all ages. I really enjoyed it, you will too!
