Read this book!

Katherine Naula May 28,2003 Everywhere By: Bruce Brooks. Bruce Brooks choose the setting for the book every where in the capital of Virginia, which is Richmond. They lived in a small house where the boy's life was pretty sad, because at the beginning some thing bad happens to the boy's grandfather and that attaches with the theme that is love between the boy and this grandfather. After Dooley and the boy (which they never tell his name) have to find a turtle, Dooley remembers seeing in a comic book about saving lives. If Dooley gets a turtle and he puts something on that his grandfather loves his grandfather will get better. His grandfather loves bowties so they have to put a bowtie on the turtle. As in the book "trade off the animal for the person" They had to also fix something that was broken. Dooley, grandfather, and the boy were the main characters. Read the book to find out if his grandfather gets better and what they have to fix!!!

Memories of Everywhere

I am a fourth grade teacher and would love every child and parent to read this book. So many times we find ourselves at a loss on how to deal with health/death issues. Using this book will help the young and old discuss their feelings by sharing the lessons of what this book has to offer. Take the time to read this short, but meaning filled book. Everyone will go away with a happy heart!
