Song of the Trees

The novella Song of the Trees is a dynamite little story. As a teacher I find that a lot of children of all races do not realize what the depression era was all about. Mildred Taylor presents wholesome heroes in the Logan family. She addresses tough topics such as racism and segregation in all her novels. The themes of bravery, family, and standing up for what is right are in this little story and in all of her stories. Mildred Taylor's books should be on every family's bookshelves.

Although the book is very short it is still excellent and well written. The pictures and illustrations make the book more interesting to follow.

Great little book! The continuing stories of the family is just wonderful. I wish all the kids in America could read about the Logan Family!

I thought that this was a really good book. It was kinda sad and happy at the same time. I thought that it was sad because I felt kinda bad for Opal, the main character of the book, because I could never imagine not having a mother. At the same time I felt happy for her because she had found friends in the end and of course Winn-Dixe in the beginning. I would recommend this book to other people especially kids in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade. If your were younger and you liked to read I'm sure that you would like it too. I hope that reading this book review will make you want to read it even if you have already read it before. I have.

I really liked this book.It may be short,but it has a lot of action in it.I did'nt like it when Mr.Anderson threatened Big Ma in cutting down the trees.Ido'nt have much to write,but Iwant to tell all the readers that you have to read this book. IT'S AWSOME!!!!
