Summary: The Funniest Book I Ever Heard!
Review: Dear Mr.Curtis,
I have a connection and this is also my favorite when I heard that Kennys fammily stopped at a rest stop in Idaho. Kenny mom told him to get toilet paper from the Restroom. when Kenny went to the restroom he didn't like it because the toilet was different than before. It didn't have a flusher or a hole or water in there. when Kenny smelled the smell he hold his breath to get the paper toilet as many as he can get. Here is my connection my dad said when he was about my size he got to hold his breath to use the restroom and get the toilet paper if he can hold his breath longer. One day when he was using the restroom he said this to me when I was eight he didn't like using the restroom because his cousin actually drop into the toilet.Please don't tell anybody,okay?Also your book is awsome! Thanks for our teacher, Ms.Salac that read to us. Thanks again Mr.Curtis. Sincerely,
Christine

Summary: A wonderful book!
Review: Dear Mr.Curtis I chose 5 stars because The Watsons go to Birmingham is one of my favorite books. My favorite part of the book is when Wilona introduced Daniel to his son Byron from with a conk from Mexico City! Wilona said to Daniel, "Meet your son Byron Watson from Mexico City." It made me laugh so hard! I had a connection when me and my family drove to South Padre Island. It felt like we were driving for three days! But we were just driving for seven hours. My brother and I couldn't wait to get there because we were so excited! I really enjoy your book! It was a wonderful book! Sincerely,
Bianca

Summary: A highly recommended, clever and witty story!
Review: Author Christopher Paul Curtis does a great job of seeing life from the eyes of 10-year-old Kenny, in The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963.
This witty and clever tale of is written first person from Kenny's point of view. He and his family, who are known around town as the 'Weird Watsons', live in Flint, MI, and in the summer of 1963 take a drive to Birmingham, AL (where his mother's from), in order to "deliver" his 13-year-old "juvenile delinquent" brother to live with his grandmother for the summer.
This story is so full of laughs, and great tales of every day family struggles and triumphs. It's hard to believe the author is an adult. All readers will be easily be able to relate to Kenny and remember feeling as he did when his parents hand down discipline, when his big brother picks on him, when life mysteries puzzle him, and as his little sister pesters him. We can also relate to his parents, who are hard working folks filled with integrity, just trying to raise their family the best they can. Their perspectives are hysterical, too - one laughs out loud when they speak of promising to "get a cheap divorce" if either one ever comes to love country ("hillbilly") music.
The author also beautifully weaves in the turbulent 60's and the hardships African Americans faced at that time, particularly in the south. When the Watsons are driven north again earlier than they'd expected, we realize from the history shared the tremendous risk they were taking in the first place.
I HIGHLY recommend this one!

Summary: The Watsons go to Birmingham
Review: Kenny Watson is 10 years old his life is a little bad because his brother Byron always plays tricks on him and hits Kenny too.Then one day Kenny,Byron,Joey,momma, and dad go to Birmingham to visit their grandma for the very first time. One morning in Birmingham Joey goes to sunday school,15 minutes later after Joey left momma heared a loued bom then they rushed out to see what it was, just then they saw the church collapsing with Joey in it. They started running toward the church. Were their predictions right or did Joey escape? I liked this book because it left me thinking in the end. because Kenny kept on sleeping behind the couch. I recommend this book to anybody that likes funny and mysterious books. EVELYN GRIFFIN.
