An absolutely invaluable tool when dealing with Asperger’s Syndrome
What is it about Pearls Before Swine? Irreverent. Poorly-drawn. Often ridiculous. Too many puns. Sometimes not even funny. And yet this is one of the best comic strips still being produced. When it hits its mark, it really hits its mark. Pig and Rat are standouts. I don’t much care for any storyline that involves the croc family.My daughter absolutely loves loves loves Pearl Before Swine, which has become disproportionately important in our lives. My daughter is on the autism spectrum, and when she has an Aspie Meltdown that she just can not recover from, I hand her one of these books. The transformation is immediate, and within a minute or two she is in her room howling with laughter instead of being in the throes of a meltdown. Distraction is a wonderful thing. And no, she is not manipulating me. This is literally my very last line of defense, the last resort I turn to when all else has failed. No other book has ever had this effect. Just Pearls Before Swine.As you can imagine, I have bought EVERY Pearls Before Swine book. We are down to our last two, but fortunately now the Aspie Meltdowns are few and far between. Still, Stephan Pastis, hurry and churn out more, please! :)

Stephen Pastis for kids
What can I say, it's Stephen Pastis! I love Pearls Before Swine and so does my 9 year old daughter (who read it all in one night). These comics just crack me up.

My children age 6-9 love these Stephan Pastis books
My children age 6-9 love these Stephan Pastis books. I can here them laughing in another room reading them. The pictures are so cute and words are appropriate. They actually pick it up and read it again. Anything that gets children to read all by themselves is a great book in my mind.

Fly into space
Pastis always puts out quality products. His wit is razor sharp. His insight into the human condition is deep. Even teachers will agree, we all need to "Skip School, fly into Space" now and then.

We have them all!
My kids (and I) love this series. It has a quirky sense of humor, think Far Side or Captain Underpants... I can't wait until he publishes another!
