3.0 out of 5 stars Thank You Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.! Book Review, November 26, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Thank You, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Paperback)

This is a touching book for all ages. There is a very valuable lesson that is in this story. That is don't ever judge a person by how they look or how they act, you have to get to know the person first. The main character in this book is Mary Elouise. She is a bright young girl and she badly wants to be the narrator in the Presidents month school play. She ends up getting the part as the narrator for the Black history segment instead and is very offended because she thinks that the only reason her teacher her teacher Miz Vereen picked her because she is black. In the end a storyteller visits Mary's school and teaches her a very valuable less that she will cherish forever. She realizes a lot of things after this, like she was thought she would probably be the best for the narrating part in the Black history segment. Most importantly she becomes a lot happier for herself, and realizes who her real friends are and what they are really worth.

This review is from: Thank You, Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. ! (Library Binding)

I rate this book a five (on a scale from 1-5) because this story has a very good lesson and there were times that I would laugh and times that I would feel very badly for some of the characters. The moral I like a lot because of the way that the author describes in the feeling of her words. I like this book because it has very good characters and I like the way the author described this book. She used lots of verbs and nouns. I think that this book deserves a newberry award. She has the qualifications of a famous newberry award-winning author. This book contains similarities from other struggles of the times where black and white people were in a war so to speak. This book has lots of things that deal with it like when she has to try to read a part of a black African American when her friends are all against that because they are white. She feels very disappointed when she finds out that they are turning against her on that issue. She feels disclosed from her world. The books that I have read about these issues sometimes bring me to tears. This book has brought on a new subject to my life individuality. I love this book.

The book and the story itself is a fabulous story. Although it is centered around an African American girl the story is relatable to all little girls. This book helped to change the way I viewed myself when I was younger and I wanted to share the story with my niece. However, the seller did make sure my niece received her copy. I made a one number mistake on the zip code of the address and the book was never received.
