I really wasn't into the book and i would rather be playing basketball instead.
I thought this book was very good I would highly recomed it for any age child
My family is like Ba's because my Mom's family has a ring that is going to her and if something happens to a girl in my family the ring is going to me because my sister gets my father's great grandmother's ring.
I thought that The Lotus Seed was a very good book sorry to say but there is nothing special, that I know of,about that has been passed down in my family.Even though I wish that there was.I enjoyed the book that you read in class.
I thought the picks. were very good, and realistic. The book was really short, but its not the kind of book i would chose to read.
What my family passes down is porclein dolls. My great grandma passed them down since her grandma always gave her porclein dolls on her birthday and other holidays. I have about over 30 dolls.
I lovd the book and enjoyed the pictures and wish it was a longer book. I wish it had more detail. I have always wondered about my past and wonder if our family has a family heirloom. I loved the book, wasn't my favorite.
I don't have anything that has been passed down to me. If I do I don't know about it. But my mom did collect baseball cards and got my brother started and he got me started. I also didn't like the book because I don't really like books.
the book wasa very interesting I learned that there are more people that have items past down in there family. I have an african rose or violet im not really sure but my aunt got it from her mom and her mom got it from her husbind. The flower is going to be past down to my mom when the leaves are done growing. the leaf will be put in a pot and it suold start to grow roots and thena red rose or violet willgrow from the leaf and my mom will have a red rose or violet.
I relly did not like the book I have read better books.
We have an ornamint that I made for her when I was in fourth grade it is a memory of when my sister got stches.
I loved the book because I like books all along. My mom has my great mama's ring from her wedding and it has her name and my great papa's name ingraved in it. Soon it will be passed on to me my mom said.
I love this book it remineds me of my grandma she keeps an old picture of my great great gandma's house in Poland.

I thought it was a good book , and I really liked the pictures, but I don't really like to talk about wars. Because they make me feel scared that my brother will be drafted.

My family passes down porceiln dolls I get them for my birthday and Cristmas and other holidays. This book was okay because I would rather read scary and mystery books.
I did not really like the book I rather read adventure or mystery book
The book was fine, but I would rather be playing football in the snow.
Almost every year, my family goes to a place called Bogus Rocks. It is in Pennsilvania. When we get there, we go on an hour hike to Bogus Rocks. At Bogus Rocks, we tell the story,or legend of Bogus Rocks. My grandfather tells it, or my uncle Ted once did. It is a very interesting story.
My family has a lot of things but the most special thing on our family is or clock my great great grandpa hade it so now my family does i like this book because is very good I hope you already read this book I realy liked this book
hi! The speacial thing my family pass down is different recipe cards. The reason they are speacial is my great great grandma made the cards and she passed them down to her child then her child passed them down to my mom who is going to pass them down to me when I get older. I really liked this book.
This book was ok but I would rather be playing basketball.

Something my family passed down was my 18kt. gold necklace. First my uncle passed it down to my aunt then my aunt passed it down to my other uncle than my other uncle passed it down to my dad and then finally it got passed down to me. I liked the book because it takes place in Vietnam and my uncle was in the Vietnam war. I also liked it because it talked about a seed that turned into a flower and I love looking at flowers especially pretty ones.
I liked this book because it talk about Vietnam and my grandpa was in the Vietnam war. I wonder if my grandpa saw the Lotus flower when he was there.
I think this book was not that intresting because it wasn't really my type.I would prefer a crime files book.I think I really would enjoy another type of book.
My family passes down a red blanket that I use today.
This book was not really interesting because it was about history I would prefer a mystery or a CSI book or something like that. Anyway my family has a blanket that has elephants on it with my great great great Grandma on my moms side name on it
I like the book becuas I have a special blanket that my grampa hed it in the war.
I did not enjoy this book very much. It was boring.
I would suggest this book for younger children. I
don't think this book is good for older kids. I
encourage you to keep reading.
I liked the book.My Dad passes down
these old beer's bottles because thay have dale Ernhardt on them.
