Ready Eddie Go!: New Haircut

About this book

As seen on Sky Kids, the Ready Eddie Go! series features simple stories in a workbook format, designed to help neurodivergent children deal with new environments and social situations.  

In this book, readers join Eddie as he describes his experience of going for a haircut. He explains each step in a clear and comforting way and provides strategies and tips to help readers feel ready for their own visit to the hairdresser. 

Nikki Saunders has a breadth of experience writing for autistic children, and this book is designed excellently to suit a variety of readers' needs. The illustrations are realistic, clear, and uncluttered, and there are friendly characters to meet along the way. 

Alongside the story, there are opportunities for children to share their own thoughts to make the book feel more personal. These include prompts for discussion, drawing, and writing.  

The book ends with a summary of the key moments from Eddie’s experience, along with handy visual prompts which can be used to help prepare for similar visits. Look out for other titles in the series which explore further social situations and environments.
