From: Toria Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think Bud keeps the flyers because that could remind him of his mom.
From: Mary Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think Bud wasn't crying because he thought he was too old. Why do you think?
From: Madi Grade 4th Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	Hi, my name is Madi. Do you like the book so far?
From: Toria Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think Bud's mom kept the flyers because it could have reminded her of something or someone. It could have been her husband in the band.
From: Adam Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think Bud doesn't cry anymore because he is used to the things that make him cry.
From: Ellen Grade 4th Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think that Bud's mom kept the flyer because she wanted him to learn about his dad. What do you think? From, Ellen
From: Donnie Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think that chapter 1 was very good. The author explains the book so well. This will probably be a good book. What do you think? -Donnie
From: Jessica Grade 4th Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think she saved the flyers because knew that her husband was on there and wanted to see him. Why do you think she saved the flyers? Sincerely, Jessica
From: J.D. Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think that Bud will have a hard time with the Amoses, especially the son. What do you think?
From: Haley Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think Bud's mom kept the flyers because maybe that was her husband, and she was mad.
From: Stephanie Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	Hi! I am Stephanie! I think his mom saved the flyers because the person on the flyer was Bud's dad. She probably did not want Bud to know about him.What do you think? Please type back!!!!!!
From: Madi Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	To: Donnie Horizon Elementry I agree with you. He does explain it well!! Please type back.
From: Ryan Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think Bud's mom saved the flyers because if that was Bud's dad in the picture he may have left his family to go to Flint, Michigan with his band. His mom probably saved them because she missed him and wanted to see him. Why do you think she saved them?
From: Caitlin Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think Bud's mom kept the flyers because that man with the "big fiddle" was Bud's long lost father or even a distant reletive that Bud's mom may have liked or disliked. She also may have kept them because she was a big fan of the group! What do you think? From, Caitlin
From: Madi Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	How do you like the book so far? I think that his mom saved it(flyers) so he could figure it out. He proble will figure it out. What do you think.
From: Jared Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think that the author uses his uninque style of writing as a kid's point of veiw. The way he disscribed the part where Bud was talking about teeth made me think. That's exactly what I do when I lose teeth!
From: Nonie Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	How do you think Bud's mom was hurt? I think she was very ill and died. Bye, Nonie
From: Kimberly Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think Bud's mom saved the flyers because Bud's dad was one of the men. What do you think? I think his eyes don't cry anymore because he has cried so much. What do you think?
From: Alex Grade 4th Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think that Bud's eyes dont cry anymore because he has cried so much that his eyes don't have any tears. What do you think?
From: Becky Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I do not think Bud's eyes cry anymore because since his mother was dead nothing seems as sad as that to him. I think his mother saved the flyer because that was her husband and she wanted see him again. What do you think?
From: Mary Hannah Grade 4th Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think Bud's mom kept the flyers because she wanted him to know his father. What do you think? From, Mary Hannah
From: Adam Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think the auther writes very well.
From: Jared Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think the author uses his uninque style of writing as a kid's point of veiw. The way he disscribed the part where Bud was talking about teeth made me think because that's exactly what I do when I lose teeth!
From: Ashleigh Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think the book is very interesting. I beleive that the auther used a very good way of jumping into the story.
From: Cole Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think that Bud's eyes do not cry anymore because he might not have anything to cry about since his mother died.
From: Trip Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I like the way the auther thinks in his past! I also like the way Budy makes everyone happy. I think his grandfather is the person he thinks is his father.
From: Richard Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I think he saved the flyers because it reminds him of his mom. I have no clue how his mom died. You might have an idea.
From: Lee Grade 4 Horizon Elementary Madison, WI	I like how the author took the reader right into the story insted of discribing the character throughout the first chapter. I also like how the author took what kids think insted of making the book without six being a hard age and not puting the teeth fall out when you are around six years old.
