Customer Reviews

Nostalgic

Enjoyable, realistic. Ms. Polacco has drawn upon her own childhood once again to create another wonderful piece of children's fiction. The actual photographs of the author and her father add to the realism and help children to realize that author's are real people too.

A great book

My Ol' Man is a great book because it has magic in it and I like when pa tells them stories of his traveling. My favorite part of this book is the photographs inside the cover because those are actual photos of her family.
