A New SPD's Kid Book!
I just happened to be looking at Borders.com for books and ran across this one about a family full of people with various sensory issues. Each family member has their own sensory issue to deal with and they talk about how to deal with them. It doesn't come out until April 1st. It's by the same author who wrote 'The Out of Sync Child' and 'The Out of Sync Child has Fun'.

How I Get Some of My Books
Face it. Books can be very expensive and sometimes you find that one treasure at the library or maybe you found something that you think will help you from Amazon or an online book store but you don't have the money to get it. It's on your wish list but that's where it is going to stay because you can't afford it or you don't want to spend the full price.
Hitting used book stores, thrift stores, and garage sales is hit and miss. You'll never know if what you are looking for is there or not and sometimes it's a wasted trip if it's only for a book. Some stores aren't even organized and I have found in many cases half-price books is a rip off both in their selling and buying although they do have some good deals. So what's another option?
I overheard someone at church once talking about swagbucks and decided to check it out for myself. Basically you put their searchbar on your PC and use it to do your searches. As you use the net you randomly get points. As you get points you can purchase different things from their website. One of the best deals on there is 450 points can buy you $5 at Amazon. I've been using Swagbucks for about 6 months and have gotten $25 in Amazon gift cards which I have used and am getting my 6th $5 card.
The steals I get is because I don't buy my books always through amazon itself but I look in their used section. Sometimes it's not worth getting the products through other sellers as you might find a book on Amazon for $7.99 and your purchase will be over $25 which means free shipping. However, spending the money through ordering through Amazon might not be the best option if you only want one book that is sold for $1 or under used and in the condition you desire and pay the $3.99 shipping. This is how I got my last book and it didn't cost me money. It was paid for just by doing what I do on the net... mainly looking for ideas for my SPD kiddo and also for my blog.
I have a link on the bottom of my website that you can click and go there very easily and sign up. It really does work and I wouldn't talk about it if it didn't work. However, seeing I posted about various books I didn't think it was fair to not share how you can buy these books without spending money... or as much money as you would otherwise.

Cardboard Box Creativity
I got this book quite a while ago from the library. This book is awesome if you're willing to help your kiddo build some of these things due to the possibility of cutting cardboard. There were so many cool ideas with great instructions. If your kiddo loves being creative and they love cardboard boxes this might be a perfect book to help you rediscover a child's love of cardboard boxes.

Kids Books
One thing I am starting to find is kids books about sensory issues regardless of what disorder they might also be tied with. I am so excited about this discovery. I am hoping that I'll be able to find them at my local library and read through them there without kids as I am so horrible at returning books. Here are just a few I found off Amazon. Not sure how to list a bunch of them on the same post with the pictures but here they are with links to Amazon.com.
