The New Kid on the Block

I love this book and fell in love with it when broderbound produced it for Apple over 20 years ago. I have an (now adult) autistic son. It not only helps to increase vocabulary but gives a visual picture of the meaning of words It helped my son immensely and I found it very amusing. I have bought the app for my iPhone to share with my grandchildren. It's great.
