Love You Soldier

This story is about a little girl name Katie and her dad going to war. She is 7 years old. The setting is in New York City during WW2. The author's purpose is to entertain because Katie really cares about her dad a lot. It is a sad story because her dad goes away from her. My opinion is that the story was sad because her dad goes to war and he doesn't come home. Another reason I like it is because whenever I read it I cannot stop reading it. I recommend this book a lot.

Love you Soldier

A wonderful warm tale from the heart. Read and enjoy. I know I did.

A book for all ages and all people!

This book is written with such emotion that the reader feels as if they are reading a novel. I would recommend the book to anyone who wants to read a heart grabber. Also it's a perfect book to read to younger children. This book grabs the reader from the beginning. As the story develops, the reader feels as if they are there and a part of the family. I thought that the book was as refeshing in the sense that it gives a great story with an excellent ending. I loved this book.
