This is a very good hearted down to earth book about life. The great blessing we had and did not know just how valuable a loving family and friends are to our way of growing. Today we take it all for granted. There's no RESPECT for Learning are Life. Ms. A. S. Williams

I think that this book is real interesting because my teacher had introduced this to to my class and I. It is a very terrific book, thanks to Mr. Taulbert.
