We both appreciate it!<br /><br />~Silvergirl: Thank you for weighing in. I think it all depends on the maturity level of your child. My daughter has read books on some heavy topics (she's as fascinated by WWII history as I am), and she doesn't seem to have been disturbed by the book at all. But I know that she's able to handle such stories and learn from them. I don't think every children's book needs to be about sunshine and flowers, at least not at my daughter's age. Thanks again for contributing to the discussion.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-58537836053201584022009-09-24T14:34:59.007-04:002009-09-24T14:34:59.007-04:00I would like to caution other parents: Read this ...I would like to caution other parents: Read this book before recommending it or reading it to your child. It is NOT a cute, sweet little story. It's brutally sad until the last page. Edward and any kind people in the book are completely helpless. The bullies and cruel people have all the power. There are a few amusing sentences, but the world of the book is harsh--an alcoholic father slaps his son across the mouth, a very young girl dies of TB, Edward gets his head smashed etc.Silvergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03458661516006229332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-42540790260213126452009-09-11T17:52:54.360-04:002009-09-11T17:52:54.360-04:00I liked this book a lot and so did my 11 year old ...I liked this book a lot and so did my 11 year old daughter-thanks for sharing this great review with usMel uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714473754458914681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-49946831553618597182009-09-10T22:24:41.652-04:002009-09-10T22:24:41.652-04:00I wasn't crazy about Because of Winn-Dixie but...I wasn't crazy about Because of Winn-Dixie but I did enjoy it enough that I may try one of her other stories.
