Summary: It is an excellent book!
Review: This book is wonderful. Patricia Polacco is a wonderful authorwho tells such real life stories. I love the fact that they worked sohard to buy the hat for Miss Eula. Also she does beautiful illustrations. From the pictures you can find out so much more about the story. The language she uses in this book is so real that you can almost really hear them talking. I would reccomend this book to anyone who likes to read. Patricis Polacco can touch the heart of all people, young and old!

Summary: A Touching Story
Review: This book speaks volumes . . . especially how a life can be changed forever through a simple act of love and kindness. It seemed that Miss Eula was a beautiful person who just loved and cared for everyone around her by continually demonstrating the true principles of faith, hope, and love. This book truly emphasizes those things that matter most: a faith in God, a loving family, and good friends. Chicken Sunday was not only heart-warming and touching, but to me it clearly stated the importance of allowing that little "light" within our hearts to shine no matter what! This book is an excellent educational tool, and can be easily used in various thematic units such as: family and friends. I have always enjoyed Patricia Polacco books and will continue to read them to my loved ones and classes for many, many years to come!
