I enjoyed Dreaming in the Land of Can as much as I did the audiobook. In addition, the website for both The Kingdom of Should audiobook and Dreaming in the Land of Can, features an entertaining interactive component, (Click on the “Children’s Interactive Portal” arrow found in the top right corner of the home page.) bios on its creators and lots of fun and vibrant illustrations. The accompanying CD entitled “Dreaming in the Land of Can” features sleep music based on the story and music of The Kingdom of Should. The Kingdom of Should is a 2-disc audiobook. And the inclusion of music makes it that much more fun. In my experience, not many books (print or audio) convey such a message.

The Kingdom of Should sends the message that it’s okay to be different, and that there are ways to help each child grow and reach their full potential.

Within each character they incorporate some common behaviours and limitations found in children who have autism, Asperger’s, ADHD or vision issues.
Steve Gallop understand and relate to children, especially those dealing with challenges surrounding their differences. Clearly, the creators, Joan Raina, Joe Romano and Dr. There are many things I liked about The Kingdom of Should. While aimed at those who have exceptionalities such as Autism, ADD/ADHD, or ASD, The Kingdom of Should is an audio book suitable for children of all ages – including those of us who are only children at heart.

Lester the Court Jester has Asperger’s and visual issues and is misunderstood by those in the Kingdom who mostly find his behaviour annoying, and feel Lester just gets in the way. Princess Didi has ADHD and while creative, smart and loads of fun, Princess Didi has a little bit of trouble staying focussed on the things other people want her to do namely her father, the King.

(“I’m the Song Catcher” is a fun tune that shouldn’t be missed. Along the way Frankie and Fuzzy meet Penelope, a very, very big bird, who as a hatchling looked and behaved differently from all of the other hatchlings, and was teased as a result. After a not-so-nice encounter with the Meanies (bullies who pick on Frankie) Frankie and Fuzzy venture over the Great Hill, across the Maple Syrup Sea through the Great Woods until they reach The Kingdom of Should.
