What Customers Say About Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry:

As for the product it arrived in a timely manner and as exactly as the seller said it would be.I will buy from this seller again if the time ever comes.
Some of its references to the past are simply lies. It is an exaggeration of life of those times, is a gross misrepresentation of reality, is nothing but liberal propaganda. This book is a fictional narrative of a black family of the 1930's in rural Mississippi. The entire book basically descibes one abuse after another that a black family experiences from whites.
It was an eye opener to the children as to how things were in the 1930's. It was a stretch with the slang talk of the south but it was understandable. Very good book and I would recommend this book to any fifth grade class for group reading and discussion. This book was recommended by my child's fifth grade teacher. It was their November book of the month to read for the class.
It has shown him the injustices in the world which he faces on a daily basis. It is a good book for over 10 year old to help understand prejudice. Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry (Teacher Guide)My son had to read this book for school. It has captured his attention.
The audio version is well done and interesting to listen to as well. Infact, I would say, several students go on to read the sequals. This is one of the best books I know of to teach tolerence and peaceful ways to protest when you are wronged. I have taught for 17 years, the last six years at the middle school level. Roll of Thunder is one of my favorite books to teach, and it becomes my students' favorite book by the end.
