Book Reviews of The Summer My Father Was Ten
Book Review: A SIMPLE STORY WELL TOLD.
Summary: 5 Stars
I must admit to have been rather taken back by this tale. The entire story is so close to a situation that happened to me when I was around the age of the young lad in this story, that I almost feel like it was taken from by head by the author. I too have told the story to my children and now gradchildren. In the story in this book, a young man does harm to an older man's garden, regrets it and them makes amends. He learns a good lesson in life through his actions. The author has done a very nice job of telling this story and the illustrations are quite well done. This is an interesting book to read to a class of young children and it is rather amazing how many of the children have had similiar experiences. It is also rather amazing as to how many will admit it and are willing to discuss it with a bit of prompting. I use this work in class a lot and find it quite helpful. Recommend this one highly.
