I am a teacher in a daycare and I work with children who come from different backgrounds and cultures all over the world. I have probably read this book fifty times and it still makes me cry. The kids think I'm nuts

I think this is a good book because it reminds me of my parents because they moved too. My favorite part was when Saoussan thought the skeleton made the teacher crazy. The funniest part I thought was the skeleton. My favorite character is Saoussan because she gets scared of everything. I thought the illustrations were great because I can't draw that well. I think people over the age of 4 should read this book.

From far away is a amazing for little children!This book is very interesting! Saoussan is a character with a great sense of humor in the story. I'll give you a hint, whenever Robert Munsch writes a book there is a surprise at the end. My favorite part in the story was when Saoussan learned how to speak English. I know that every person that reads this book is going to enjoy it!

The story was the best book I ever read! This is my favorite because she moves from a place that is far away. Then she moved to Canada because a war started and part of there roof fell in the house. When the family got to Canada, Saoussan had to go to school and she saw the things she wasn't used to so she screamed. That's why I loved this book.

I could really relate to this book because when I first read it, I was in a new environment too. The story is really real, and Munsch is one of my favourite authors.

I think the book was enjoyable because it reminds me of when I first came to school. I didn't speak English and I had no friends. My favorite part is at the end because she starts to like her new environment. My favorite character is Saoussan because she accomplishes something at the end.

I think this book was fun to read. It reminds me when I was in first grade when I peed because my teacher didn't let me go to the bathroom. Saossan is pretty smart because when she doesn't know what to do she finds out a smart way to do it. It's sad because of all the things she has to go through when she is small. I recommend you read this book.

I like this book because it's a true story about people who moved to another country.My favorite part in this book was when she crawled under the desk to go to the restroom, without the teacher knowing. This is my favorite part because it was funny and then she runs in a room filled with Halloween stuff and she got so scared.My favorite character in the story was Saoussan because she is an honest girl. I would recommend this book to a person that travels to another country without knowing anybody!

I think From Far Away was a good book because it's really funny. My favorite part is when she screams so loud and thinks her teacher is crazy. The scariest part for her was when she got scared and thought that people will start shooting each other there. My favorite character was Saoussan because she's funny. I would like Robert Munch to read it because he does it funny. But it's sad because she has to leave her home. I liked Michael Martchenko's pictures because they're creative.

I thought the book was great and a bit funny because Saoussan's pee went down her legs because she was so scared of the skeleton. Then she thought their was going to be a war. Her teacher came to tell her that it was Halloween and that she didn't have to be scared of anything. When her dad came to pick her up and then went to her house she thought that every body was crazy. But her dad told her that people are not going to shoot each other. Then she would go to the mall to shop.
