Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis

This was a good book. It even made me cry! It takes place in thelate 1930's during the Great Depression in America. I love the descriptions from a little boys point of view, especially the vampire scares.-- And the library! I laughed at the funny impressions he got of librarians. "I have a treat for you!" He knew that librarians and little kids think treats are very different but he pretended to be excited when she showed him the huge civil war history book.
This was a great read-out-loud book. The kids enjoyed it too.

Whole Book, Healing Book

One of my all-time favorite books is by Christopher Paul Cutis. It's "The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963." I always read it to my fourth graders.
