"The Impatient Little Vacuum" is a cute little book with a not-too-subtle message towards animal rescue. Also, I feel like many children on the autism spectrum will enjoy this. An autistic family member used to be obsessed with vacuums, toasters, and lamps and was a big fan of "The Brave Little Toaster" when he was younger. I know he would have loved this book. It's great for those who have interests a little out of the norm and for those of us who love them.

Great childrens book. Teaches a valuable lesson on value and timing. Thank you to the author for signing this copy. Book won courtesy of Goodreads Giveaway.

This is a cute story about finding your place. I was a little confused because the language choice overlaps so much with animal rescue speak, and the names of the characters were a little too thinly disguised. But the overall message is nice. I'll be passing this on to my niece.

I received this book free as a Goodreads First Read.

It was a fun little book about vacuums, though I felt it didn't focus on one teaching point for children and a little too drawn out with mini stories that may not have been necessary. My girls didn't like the pages that didn't have pictures. The names of all the vacuums were fun. Other all my 4 and 6 years did enjoy it.
