I actually happened across Three Little Words the afternoon after our very first MAPP class in a used book store. I paid $1 for it, read it one day, brought it to class the next week to lend the teacher and now she has been lending it out like crazy to people in her office, classes and foster parents. We're in Florida, like Ashley, so it's particularly interesting and horrific.
