The BEST Book I Have Ever Read!
I rate this story 5 stars, because it is the greatest book I have ever read. It has touched my heart in a way no book has ever touched my heart before. I liked this book because it was about drug dealing, and I have had to deal with my parents and drugs throughout my life. This is a book that teaches you about the importance of life. It teaches you that you can accomplish anything that ...

Low level Reading- High level Star
I actually used this book as a source for a college paper. It is one of few resources out there if you are interested in Augusta Savage. I thought it was fun, but of course would recommend it for late Elemantary School to Junior High in normal situations.

Perfection Learning, 1993

Excellent Emphasis on Vocabulary Building & Cultural Context
Retold African Myths is superior to many of the books of African myths that I have read. For one thing, it clearly gives the tribal/country's origin of each story and has a map in the front where each story's origin is clearly shown. Included are myths which represent Uganda, Yoruba, Togo, Zulu, Ashanti, Chagga, Hausa, Swahili, Nigerian, Bambara, Kono, Congo, Sotho, and Mende cultures. The ...

Thank you, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
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. ...
