I liked the book.I liked the pictures too.My ancestors were very mutch like this book.
I like the book it was grate. My dad's grate, grate, grate grandmother came in from Girmany. But my mom came from Mexico.
I like this book really well because the pitures are neat in it.My ancestors are almost like this book.
My brther and me are both mixes.I am realy happy about my family and that book.
I liked the story alot. I liked the pictures the best. Mr.Powers was talking about this in S.S class.The story was very good.
I think this book is very interesting-I dont know if the story is like my ansestors story for sure yet.
I would like to read more books like this one.
my goal is-to read more often.
My favorite book is Beagle In A Backpack.
PS.I love library
This book was not my favorite but it was ok. The book was some like my Great Grandma and Great Grandpa.They are on my mom's side they are my grandpa's mom and dad. They sailed on a boat to New York from Itlly. The boat that they were on it sunk but they got on some little boats. The boat sunk becauseit hit a nother boat. They didn't get hurt. They were find.
I like this book because it is a different book than other books.And i like the pictures in the book.
I liked the book.Although I forgot to ask my family,I think it might like the book be but a little different than the book.The pictures and the story were amazing itn my opinion it was very cool to listen to.I would love to read it again.It is a book I wouldread over and over again.I loved the book.I wish the author will write another book like that one but based on something else.
I like this story because it was sad and happy at the same time. My great grandma came from poland she didn't know how to speak English then she started to learn English.

I liked this book because it related in its own simple way the courage of these young children as they made this journey across the ocean. My great grandparents also made a trip very similar to the one in the story.These people are to be admired for their determination to "become American".
It helped me learn more about immigrants.
I realy like this book.I wish I had this book.
I really enjoyed reading this book.We are learning in Social Studies about immigrants.I really liked this book.
The book was okay. It wasn't the best book ever,but it was good.My family isn't really like the people in the book.I liked the book.bye, nick5b
Dear,pannama
I realy enjoyed this book.But it's not my kind of book.I'm not saying its a bad book.but it's kind of boring.I don't know alot about my family history.i'm not a history person.Bye!
This book was great.Their ancesters where really cool.I liked it because they where immigrants.
Dear Panama library,
This book is a great book!I am not sure if my ansestores Came like!I am Polish and Italian.This book was a great adventer.So make sure you read it!!!!
I thought that "Watch The Stars Come Out"was a very educational book.It tought me about immigration and how all my anceters came from either Germany,Sweden,and England.I highly reccomend this book.I think my family is like this story.This was the best book ever.
THANK YOU PCS LIBRARY!!!
I liked this book really well. I liked this book because it is like what my grandma used to sometimes read me
It was a good book and I liked it.I dont know alot about my familys history.
I liked this book because it had fantastic illastrations.It had great details about the ways when immagrants came to New York City.I don't know about my ancesters.I think that the auther was a great writer.
I liked this book very much becuase it is about ansesters.But the most reasens was that when somebody got sick thay would tri to get them better but if thay could not get them better thay would burrythem on the bottem of the oceans.So the other pepole dont get sick.So thay can go to the other land.
I really liked this book, because we are learning about imigration in social studies!.
I'm pretty positive that most of my ansetors came over that way I really enjoyed this book.
got to go,
This is a sad book. People are geting sick and they are dieing.Another thing is the kids haven't took a bath in 23 days.They sailed on a boat from New York Italy
This book was a huge enjoynment.Although it is a good book, I would recommend it to someone who loves school and history.I loved the illustrations, and the author did a great job telling this story.If you love learning I would recommend this book for you! Sincerely,Allison 5B
I loved the book .it reminds me of the time when my great grandma rode a boat.she moved because the world war two.this book is very deltealing. I think the auther should ride more great books. but he shoul write more stories aout animal's and dinosaurs.

This is a great book for people who enjoy a brief summery of certain events and great pictures.This personally was not my favorite book,I like more detailed books but I am sure you will like this book about life as an immigrant and I hope you continue to read more we the people books.

I loved this book and the illistrations to.this book is somewhat like this.
i thought the book was ok, becouse its not the kind of book i would chose to read. i did not like the pictures becouse they were to cartoonish.
I like the book it was good but not my favorite.I do not think that my family came over like that.I like library but I do not like to read.
I diddent care for the book.I PRAFER game magazens.
I think it was a good book to read.
I recommend this book. It is a good book because it is about teo childern that go on a boat to meat there parents.they have a old lady taking them but they just me the old women.The woman ends up dieing on the boat.But in the they mak it.When they get to there house they take a bath.then a little bit later they eat then go to bed.i highly recommend this book.I dont no much about my family but is still like this book.I think if you read this book you may enjoy this book you may not but i like it i hope tou do to.=-)
I think this Book was okay, I don't like books that take place in the old days. I'm pretty sure that my mom's side came from Sweden!! and my dad's side came from IRELAND!!!!!!!!
The book was ok but I would rather read BMX magazines and other books that are a lot better.This is isn't really my kind f book.I know a littel bit about my family hiostory.
I really liked that book.It was cool and it was amazing how the difference between today and long ago.As i was listning to the teacher i was happy for the family when they found there dad and mom.I was sad for that grandma that died and she tried her best to whatch them kids.
I really like the book.I love the colorfull pages printed in the book.It realy Inspired me to think about the lies aboutthere lives.I highly sugjest this book to any one who love histery.

I liked this book because of the illustrations. Also it reminds of how my Grandma Eccles came from Italy.
I really didn't like this book very much but I would recomend I't to some people I know.

I liked the book but I won't read it again, unless I have to read it to my little babysitters grand daughters and they are 4 and 6 they love it when I read them stories.

It was an ok story for little kids. I mean don't get me
wrong I liked it and it was true to history and all I just think that more little kids would enjoy this than I would. If I was a little kid I would really like this book but now that I'm older I like other types of books. Overall It was a good story and it was a nice one.
This is not a kind of book i will read again.I did not like the pictures in the book.
I really liked the book and the pictures because it reminded me of how all those people had to immigrate from all those places around the world!
The book was very intresting! I dont really know where my ansestores came from, but I did here that my grandma came from Poland and part of the rest of my family came from Scottland. I really enjoyed the book, thank you, Crystal Sk 6G
MY FAMILY CAME FROM ITALY, CANADA,GERMANY.
This book was interesting and boring. Interesting because it is cool to learn about the history of family and just plain peoples that you might have never even heard of. It was boring because history is not always fun but most of the time you want to learn about the stuff that is about your freedom.
MY FAMILY CAME FROM GERMANY,MUTT,NATIVE AMERICAN
I learned more because I read the book in spanish and I was so happy because I asked my mom where do I come from ? Thank you to everyone that chose this book to read in class. I am so happy bye bye
thank you
I thought that this book was very good. I really liked to look at the pictures.
