Temple Grandin: How the Girl Who Loved Cows Embraced Autism and Changed the World Audiobook

" Sy Montgomery does an admirable job of describing what it is like to be an autistic person whose senses are on fire. She had Grandin's full participation in writing this biography, which includes tips and resources for autistic kids and for kids who are interested in animal rights and welfare. "

" Fascinating biography. I feel like I learned a lot not only about Temple Grandin, but also about the autism spectrum in general. "

" Interesting book. A non-fiction that students would be interested. Good as a non-fiction read aloud. "

" What an interesting lady! It is amazing how she has used her differences as strengths to help so many other people (and animals!). "

" So good. Lots to think about with this one. Well written too. "

" I didn't know anything about Temple Grandin going into this. Inspiring, and well written for kids. "

" Nice biography of Temple Grandin. Upper elementary students will identify with Grandin's love of animals & her struggle to fit in. A great book to include for Women's History Month, with a focus on Grandin's tireless work for animal rights rather than on her disability. "

" A fully engaging read. Nothing flashy about this book, but totally engrossing and solid. "

" Great book on autism for teens! "

" I find Temple Grandin extremely interesting. I think this is a great introduction to her life and contributions but sometimes the way it was organized drove me crazy. "

" Fascinating and enlightening book about one woman's life with autism and how she built a career out of her strengths and passions-as a scientist and designer of animal processing operations. Good life lessons! "

" This book gave me a broader understanding of autism. It also had some great information on the cattle industry. My son is involved heavily in Future Farmers of America (FFA). I think this book would be great for anyone involved in 4-H or FFA. "

" This is a great example of clear and interesting writing for children. It serves to illuminate the full life of an autistic woman and brings a subject to children that may not have appealed to them before. Gr 5 & up. "

" Excellent book for children to read to help them understand Autism & Asperger's. "

" Quick easy to read book about an amazing woman who learned to use her autism as a gift to help animals. This woman lives in Fort Collins and works with CSU. "

" Middle grade, simple text but the slaughter house discussions may disturb kids. Very worth while. "

" Great narrative nonfiction. Sy Montgomery presentation is informative, read-able and engaging. "
