It's All Too Much Jun 01, 2009
By BeatleBangs1964
George Harrison's stellar "It's All Too Much" and the inane classic "Make the World Go Away" which I never liked could easily be the soundtracks for this book.
Izzy is a delightfully plausible character who MIGHT have autism. She plainly has sensory issues, one of which is an aversion for loud noises. They are painful to her, so she will cover her ears regardless of her her environment.
She is a wonderful role model for all children, neurotypical and on the spectrum alike. I wish I'd had this book when I was a child. Show me a person on the spectrum who DOESN'T hate loud noises and surprises and I will show you a buzzard who can dance and a screaming eagle who can sing.
Izzy personifies the sensory overload experience perfectly and George Harrison's 1968 lyrics "it's all too much for me to see....it's all too much for me to take" sum up this story very well.

Overloaded with Awesome Sensory Information to Share with Kids! May 26, 2009
By Joanna Keating-Velasco
"Joanna"
From beginning to end, I LOVED this wonderful tool for introducing sensory challenges and solutions to kids at such an important age as early elementary school years. Izzy is a wonderful role model for kids who are challenged by their senses. They can see they are not alone and see how she deals with some of her challenges at school. As important, the book provides a wonderful tool to introduce sensory issues and potential sensory overload to classmates to help them better understand their peers who might be dealing with sensory overload. This book has great potential to bridge a gap between classmates by giving a better understanding of what others might be experiencing with regards to sensory issues.
Kudos to Jennifer Veenendall for delivering to us a wonderfully illustrated and clever story which beautifully tells a story of one child that can be transferred to many, many more.

A highly recommended and educational book for parents and children to share Jun 18, 2009
By Midwest Book Review
Why Does Izzy Cover Her Ears? Dealing with Sensory Overload is the picturebook story of Izzy, an intelligent young girl just starting the first grade. Izzy has sensory processing disorder, which makes her over-responsive to environmental stimuli, including sounds, accidental bumps from other kids, and visual distractions. Her reflexive tendencies to cry, lash out, or cover her ears have caused other kids to accuse her of being mean, or deride her as a "crybaby". But with help from her parents, her teachers, and an occupational therapist, she is learning how to adjust. She feels calmer and ready to learn, and she's made a lot of friends! The story is told from Izzy's point of view, but does not talk down to the reader. A highly recommended and educational book for parents and children to share, especially if the child has sensory processing disorder or knows relatives or friends with it.

 Shows Sensory Overload in a Child Dec 06, 2009
By D. Renna
Meghan's World: The Story of One Girl's Triumph over Sensory Processing Disorder
This book does a nice job of showing what a child goes through when they reach the point of sensory overload. It is good for teachers and other children to see what sets off these reactions and what to do when it does happen. I wish it was around when my daughter was younger and dealing with her spd.

Great for kids and adults! Apr 13, 2011
By Samantha
I got this book for my 3 year old with SPD. She loved reading about Izzy who is just like her. I had a meeting with her teachers at daycare in hopes to educate them a bit more about SPD and how to help my little one in the classroom. I ended up giving the book to them and ordering another copy for my daughter. It a book that even nerotypical kids will understand. Love it and would reccoment it to others
