We liked the book because it was peaceful. The story sounds like real life. This story is great because Doris helps Yellow Bird study. It is beautiful because it teaches you about life, to be nice and never be rude to people, and to share. Yellow Bird is a clown and does funny things. Doris feels proud because she knows that Amir will be happy that she is helping Yellow Bird.

Yellow bird and me is about a girl name Doris and she has a friend named Amir that moved away from 163 st.Doris wanted to se him but so she got a job at the Bee Hive. Her mother and father don't like the idea because it seems like they don't have any money. So one day she wrote a poem and her teacher caught her writing it and her teacher will even read it out or throw it in the trash. The teacher told Doris to give it to her and the teacher took it and Doris said it was birds so the teacher gave it to him. While they were in class Doris looked at birds pocket and saw that the paper wasn't in bird pocket any more. Then later she saw her paper being passed around the classroom and being read out loud. Later that day when school was dismissed Doris was walking down the hallway and bird saw her and ran to her and she pushed him away because what he done in class. When Saturday came she was walking down to hive bird stop and said T.T. took the note out of the back of his pocket. So she told him about the job and asked could he be the lookout. So the signal was 1= mother, 2=dad, 3=mrs.nicols, 4=all clear. So when she was done doing the little girls hair Bird ran to the window and put up 3 and there was Mrs. Nicole with her flowed hat walking in the hive.

Doris Quickly ran to the back to the sink and put a rag over her face so that Mrs. Nichols wouldn't see her. Then the girl working at the named carols came over to Doris and asked her why she was hiding. And she said she didn't want Mrs. Nicole to she her.By: Kevon Starke

Yellow Bird and Me is a very good book. It is about a girl named Doris and her friend Bird. Doris has a friend that moved away. Doris writes letters to her friend every time she writes a peom. Doris and her friend are very good friends. I like the book because it is funny and I recommend this book to everybody. I've got to say, it's a big big laugh-out-loud. There is nothing that I don't like about this book. This is a very good book to read.

Yellow Bird and Me is one of the best books I have ever read (I have read a lot of books). If I had to rate it 1 - 5, I would give it a 5. This is what it is about... Doris has a friend named Amir who moved away. She also has a friend named Yellow Bird, who has problems reading. This is a good book for little kids. ...

I liked the book Yellow Bird and Me. It was hard to put down, but it was boring at the beginning. It was about Doris, who is trying to earn money to see her friend Amir and Bird, who wants to be in the drama club, but he can't read, so Doris has to help him. ...

Yellow Bird and Me, which was written by Joyce Hansen, is a great book to read when you loose a friend because he or she moved away. I thought the book was okay because I wasn't really interested when I read it. It's not really on my grade level because I personally think it is a book for fourth or fifth graders. I enjoyed read the two main characters in the book; Doris and Amir because they were best friends and they reminded me of my male best frind and I. They lived in the Bronx and Amir's foster parents'took him to Syracuse, New York to live for good. Doris is determined to fined a way to see Amir again so she plans to see Amir in upstate New York. All the while Yellow Bird is bugging her about his reading problem. Doris doesn't really like spending time with Bird, but she has no choice. She promised Bird that she would help him with his reading problem. So to find out what happened to Amir and Doris, read the book.

I Loved it! I couldn't put it down. It's a wonderful story of Bird and Doris and how she changes a new friend a learns to see inside him and herself.
