Kid reviews for The Watsons Go to Birmingham--1963

There is not a table of contents but besides that it is a great book overall. There is not much about black history at first but in the end when they are in Birmingham there is.

I think that this book is amazing even though there's violence and other things that inappropriate its still talks realistic and how it was back in 1963. So, give it a try and see if u like it ore not.

i think this book is really good

Great book, with real stuff. Very educational.

I think that The Watsons Go to Birmingham--1963 Is a great book from cover to cover if you are planning on reading this book please be aware that there is swearing and violence, but keep in mind that it has great educational value and helps children understand about The Civil Rights Movement. I think that the character Byron or as Kenny calls him By is a good role model because in the beginning of the book he is a mean bully but when they go to Birmingham then he has a change of heart and cares about his family. I highly recommend this book to you!

This book is amazing. I love it so much. There is a lot of bad reviews criticizing the language but to be honest swearing is a thing and it's not a big deal. It is no reason to hate a book! It isn't a book for younger ones though. I actually read this book in 3rd grade and I was fine. I read it again at my age and I love it so much. It has a wonderful perspective on what a 10 year old (Kenny) thinks about his life. It is a true event and I think everyone should read this book. It is so good. I think ages 11+ would be good considering the language. They aren't terrible swear words. The F word is never used . This book is so amazing. I honestly encourage you to read this. The reviews I have read from kids my age makes me so bad. You shouldn't judge a book and hate it because of a few times the kids were disrespectful and swore. It is a great book. Please ignore those reviews on that. If you don't think you should be reading it because of that then that's sad for you. Because you are missing out on a wonderful book. I wouldn't say there is too much violence because the bombing part wasn't for that long. It was not super detailed either. Read this book! 5 stars!

I think that this is a great book. It does have some language calls (a-word, h-word, s-word, n-word) and some concerning scenes but other than that it is pretty good. Some of the concerning scenes to me is when Kenny almost gets caught by the Wool Pooh and when Joey's church that she was at got bombed. Other than that I think that this is a really good book for 6th grade and up.

I think over all this novel is great. it shows what people experienced back then during segregation and i feel like kids need to know that there was a time that things were not perfect the author did a great job and everything andi love it

This book was amazing! I read this is school in 5th grade, and I absolutely loved it! It's about a 10 year old boy ad his family, and all the adventures they have when they go to Birmingham, Alabama. It talks about the bomb that took place in one of the churches, which was true. This book was also really funny, and was totally addictive to read over and over again!

I never liked that book, it's easy but terrible!!!!
