4.0 out of 5 stars
great book
A great childrens' polio book. It taught me about polio,something I didn't know anything about. The book had a message about not discriminating against people who had polio. The book shows us how to find out about the disease so that we don't hurt people's feelings. I think the author should write a similar book about AIDS. Tim

Disappointing!
Only a person who lived through the polio years could relate to this story. Today's children need more background to understand the reasons for the fear, the method of polio transmission, and the references to "commies." As a polio survivor, I had hoped that this book would tell a more informative and compelling story. Instead, the book raises more questions...

WILL MY CHILDREN READ THIS ?,
By "elainaxyz" (bristow, oklahoma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Close to Home: A Story of the Polio Epidemic (Once Upon America) (Mass Market Paperback)
THIS BOOK IS FULL OF FEAR. WHY SCARE MY CHILD WITH SOMETHING IF IT IS NOT NECESSARY ? I LIKE THE STORY AND HOW THE AUTHOR TOUCHED ON SEVERAL DIFFERNT SUBJECTS. I THINK TO DO THIS STORY JUSTICE, THE BOOK NEEDED TO BE LONGER. THIS IS THE FIRST CHILDREN'S BOOK I HAVE SEEN ABOUT POLIO. KEEP THEM COMING.
