The Watsons Go To Birmingham

Has anyone read this book?  It is one of my favorites, and a favorite of a few 5th graders last year.  Imagine my excitement when I heard this book was being made into a movie by the Hallmark Channel!

I challenge as many 5th graders to read The Watsons Go To Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis in September, and we can have a viewing party in October!

Check out a preview:

Have you read this book?  If so, what are your thoughts about it?

After viewing the movie trailer, does this book seem like something you'd be interested in reading?  Why or why not?

  1. I love this book and was thinking it would make a good read aloud for 5th grade. Maybe if the GRA partnership is a success, we could connect again with your class to discuss The Watsons Go To Birmingham.
