Summary: Life in the eyes of Kenny Watson
Review: This book is a wonderful way to discover the feelings of blacks during the civil rights movement and the changing laws of segregation. Kenny, the main character, gives us details as to the difference between the way blacks were treated in Flint, Michigan, and Birmingham, Alabama. This book really got to me. It made me think of how we could treat each other so differently, even though we are all so alike. This is a magnificant book.

Review: The Watsons Go to Birmingham 1963 is a great book! it proves you should not judge a book by its cover because thats what i did, and i was wrong. The Watsons Go to Birmingham is about a black familey and there are 5 members in it, Joetta,kenny,momma,daddy and Byron who is always getting in trouble! Joetta is the youngest and is always sticking up for her brothers. Kenny is the middle child and trys to help Byron not to get in trouble so much, and then there is Byron, he thinks he is alot older then he really is, and has a hard time lisning to his parents. I love this book beacause i like the way the author wrote it. He makes it so you cannot put the book down! you want to read on and on!!

Summary: Here Go The Watsons
Review: I have read many excellent books and The Watsons Go To Birmingham is definitely one of my favorites. The novel can be confusing at some points but I could easily catch up. The book is by Christopher Paul Curtis and he is definitely one of my favorite authors. The book takes place in several different places. Most of the book takes place in Birmingham, Alabama. A lot of it takes place in Flint, Michigan, the Watson's home town. Some of it takes place on the way to Birmingham. But no matter where they go,the Watsons are still hilarious. All the characters in the book have their own wacky personalities. The person telling the story is Kenny Watson, the star of the book. Kenny has a sleepy eye and many people think that it's strange. Kenny likes to read and he began reading at a very young age. No matter how weird people think Kenny is, he still has a great role in the book. The plot of the book can be hard to understand but you can catch up. The book is about the Watson family who want to eascape from Michigan's cold weather. It's so cold that your lips can get stuck on the car mirror! To get away, the Watsons go to Birmingham, Alabama where it's extremely hot. As the Watsons experience Birmingham, they learn about peace, sadness, and life. Many things happen to the Watsons in the book-both good and sad. The characters in the book are not real people but the events are true. Some people actually have died in a bombing at a Birmingham church. Sadness or happiness, I still loved the book.

Summary: The Wild and Wacky Watsons
Review: The Watsons go to Birmingham-1963 The Watsons go to Birmingham-1963 is a great book. The fun, silly book captured me, and made me laugh out loud. I think Christopher Paul Curtis is a compelling author. A young boy named Kenny Watson tells the story through narration.
In 1963, in Flint, Michigan, the Watsons packed up to go to Birmingham, Alabama. Dad got an Ultra Glide then packed the records. When they got to Birmingham they were melting from the heat before they even got out of the car. At this time, in Birmingham there were racial issues that made African Americans and the Watsons uncomfortable.
A nice friendly kid named Kenny Watson has a lot of interesting stories to tell. One of his stories was the time Byron ( Kenny's big brother) got his hair dyed, and his mom went crazy. Even though Kenny is nice he still has a sense of humor. When Kenny's dad came home, Kenny saw what his dad did to Byron, and Kenny laughed so hard he could not stop. Kenny's dad shaved Byron's hair because Byron didn't obey his mother. But Kenny was very smart and knew what Byron did was wrong.
One family called the "Weird Watsons" lived in Flint, Michigan. They decided to go to Birmingham, Alabama for warmer weather. They were going to go for a vacation. When the Watsons arrived in Birmingham they have tons of stories, and had a lot of fun. Then one terrible Sunday Kenny's sister Joey was in her church while it was bombed. The family went home sad and still scared but even though Joey was with them, Kenny still thought she was dead, in his mind.
Though this book has a sad ending I thought it was great. The funny stories kept me wondering. Christopher Paul Curtis's book Bud Not Buddy was also great. I would recommend the book The Watsons go to Birmingham- 1963.

Review: The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963 The Watsons Go To Birmingham-1963 is a magnificent book. I really recommend you reading it. It is filled with fun things and Historical Fiction at the end. The setting is where the story takes place. It begins in Flint, Michigan. It was very cold and Byron and Buphead teased Kenny a lot. On the road trip, Kenny's mom had planned everything out like where to stay. At the rest stops, Kenny and Byron said that rest stop's restrooms stunk and were really dirty. When they finally got to Birmingham, everyone complained how hot it was. Then there were racial problems. This is how I remembered the setting. Kenny is very smart but is also very funny. In Chapter 2, he reads a book to Byron's class up side down. Some times Byron tortures Kenny. In Chapter 1, Byron and his friend Buphead threw Kenny around in the snow. Kenny sometimes doesn't believe what Byron says and then does like in Chapter 13. He doesn't believe in the Wool Pooh and then does when he thinks he sees the Wool Pooh. That's how I relate to Kenny Watson.
In the beginning, Byron gets his lips stuck to the car mirror. Then his dad buys the Ultra-Glide and they go on a three-day trip to Birmingham, Alabama. After Kenny seeing the Wool Pooh and to white men bombing Joey's church, the finally go back to Flint.
As I said in the beginning, The Watsons Go To Birmingham-1963 is a very good book. I recommend it to children of all ages.
