The Wall Book & Cassette (Read Along Book & Cassette) Review
User Submitted The Wall Book & Cassette (Read Along Book & Cassette) ReviewsNovember 25, 2008 Excellent This book was sent on time and received on time! It made a great addition to my classroom! Thank you so much! December 31, 2007 Excellent book I read this book to my students. But before I had read it myself, I shared it with my students. It was very emotional for me. (I have a cousin listed on the wall. His son was born about 4 months after he died. I could see my uncle walking his grandson there.) The book was a beautiful, moving tribute to all those who have given their lives in Vietnam. September 28, 2007 Beautiful Being a "baby boomer" from the Vietnam era, I think this book will help explain to my grandchildren about Grandpa and his war time. It is beautifully illustrated and tender. I wish I'd had this book when I went to see the Wall with an 8th-grade girl who made an etching of her Grandpa's name. It may not mean as much to anyone who hasn't been touched directly by the Vietnam war, but it touched my heart. May 23, 2007 The Wall Review The Wall by Eve Bunting is an incredible story of remembering. It all starts when a little boy and his father visit the Vietnam War Memorial. The father, who wishes to find the name and remember the good times with him, takes a piece of paper and and pencil and traces the name off of the wall. The little boy, who just wishes his grandfather was there with him, sadly watches another little boy and his grandpa on a walk. This book about rememberance will make you sad until the very end. Eve Bunting does a great job setting the mood at the Vietnam War Memorial. I give this book a thumbs up and believe it's the best children's book ever. Read The Wall by Eve Bunting to find out what happens in the end. May 22, 2007 The Wall by: Eve Bunting Loosing a relative can be tough, especially if your close to them, or too young to ever experience or meet them. All you can do is wonder. The book The Wall by: Eve Bunting, is aobut a dad and his son that go and visit the Vietnam War Memorial in memory of the dad's father, or the son's grandfather that died in the Vietnam War. Eve Bunting describes what happens there from a child's point of view. It is very realistic, and makes you feel like you are really there. This book not only teaches little kid's lessons, but is good for even adults. IT really took me back and made me think. It made me think of how valuable our lives really are, and when we die, who is really affected by it. Also, it taught me that loosing someone you love doesn't always have to be sad, especially if they have died fighting for what they believe in. So, if somebody you know died, think of the positive side. Reading this book may take you back, and let you think of why they were so special. March 21, 2007 The Wall by Tanashia C.

I read it to my 6 and 5 yo and I think they liked it fine. I was in tears at the end! The girls may not understand the whole message at this age by I will save it for the years to come! May 25, 2006 The Wall by; Eve Bunting I like this book because it tells about some brave people that die in the war. A lot of people visit the wall in Washington D.C to show repsect to the people that are dead. This is why I liek this book. May 19, 2006 The Wall The Wall has touched my heart. I am Vietnamese so I understand what the character in the books are feeling. This book teaches good information about the Vietnam wall that was made for the people that died in the Vietnam war. I think it's sad that the boy has to look for to look through the long list of names to find his grandpa's name. It was nice to see what the boy learns from the wall and the people at the wall too. I recomomand this too most kids so that they can learn about the wall that was made to honor all the people that died in the Vietnam war. April 4, 2006 A wall of many faces, where's Grandfather? Eve Bunting does a wonderful job enlightening true feelings of love for a loved one who has died in the Vietnam war. The boy's father is proud of his Dad for fighting in the war and for the country. The boy wishes he could have seen his grandfather. The boy dreams of long walks with his grandfather down by the river. In this realistic contemporary fiction story primary students will be motivated to learn more about the topic of war and relationships between a father and son. The story is written in first person point of view. The mood of the characters and illustrations are expressive and genuine which was what the author tried to get across to the reader. All the characters are round individuals. The characters are seeking solutions that are all around them. The answer to relationships, kindness of people, suffering from loosing a loved one, and the desire to want what we can't have. The actions from the characters were authentic and pulled in the reader`s attention. The illustrator uses watercolor paints to express the dramatic feelings of the characters and the events. Children will sit still to absorb the emotions and relate to in some way the unanswered questions the boy has. Perhaps students can engage in a writing activity on how you would feel when visiting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. Teachers can implement this great book for thematic units and introduction lessons for the Vietnam War as well as Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veteran's Day. I really enjoyed this book as a teacher and I know my students will too. For more The Wall Book & Cassette (Read Along Book & Cassette) reviews click here.
