librarianryan 's review for:

The Waiting Song by Rayah Jaymes, Natasha Barber
1.0

Nigel is a hedgehog who is on the autism spectrum. He is not very good at waiting. He makes up the waiting song to sing when he has to wait for his turn. I DO NOT like this book. One one side you have various kids yelling MINE. No excuse me I was playing with that, or no please wait your turn, just MINE (emphasis included in the story). The story is supposed to be about Nigel learning patience, and it is, but there is a lot of bad manners in this book that need corrected. This story could be so much better, and should be.
