A Must Read for Every Child.December 2, 2008 This book was recommended by my child's fifth grade teacher. It was their November book of the month to read for the class. It was a stretch with the slang talk of the south but it was understandable. It was an eye opener to the children as to how things were in the 1930's. Very good book and I would recommend this book to any fifth grade class for group reading and discussion.
my son liked this bookNovember 12, 2008 Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry (Teacher Guide)
My son had to read this book for school. It has captured his attention. It is a good book for over 10 year old to help understand prejudice. It has shown him the injustices in the world which he faces on a daily basis.
Roll of Thunder Hear My CryOctober 6, 2008 I have taught for 17 years, the last six years at the middle school level. Roll of Thunder is one of my favorite books to teach, and it becomes my students' favorite book by the end. Infact, I would say, several students go on to read the sequals. The audio version is well done and interesting to listen to as well. This is one of the best books I know of to teach tolerence and peaceful ways to protest when you are wronged.
Black after the civil warSeptember 11, 2008 This book portrays the vivid reality of ugly racism after the civil war. A great book and one worth your time and mine. A past of social injustice that we do not want to go back too, nor become the men or women who caused it. Anna del C. Author of "The Elf and the Princess" and "Trouble in the Elf City" The Elf and The Princess: The Silent Warrior Trilogy - Book One (The Silent Warrior Trilogy)
Excellent source to learn African American history in the 1930sJuly 17, 2008 This is a great book! It is well written and the story line is very easy to follow. This book was one of three books that was required summer reading for my daughter's 6th grade class and she loved it as well. It gave her a different perspective on the different and most often times unfair treatment African American received during the 1930s. I strongly recommend this book to every young person to learn a few of life's lessons.
