Mildred Taylor Books

thi is a book about black people tht try to get in a white bar, when the black people go to the bar all of the white people are mean to th black people. they threaten to chop off a young black childs hands. this was a good book, i did not like it as much as the well though...this is one of the best books Mildred D. Taylor has probably ever wrote.

I did not realy like this book. It was an example of how whites treated blacks. It was kind of short and did not realy go into details to let you know the story. It just gave you enough to know what they were talking about. It would be best for ages about 8. It does not have bad language but it is not good for younger kids.

I guess it was a pretty good book, but other kids will have to read it themselves. this book was about 3 boys and 1 girl, they have this friendship but at the end of the book this guy named john shot Mr. Tom Bee, and that's how I rate this book, a 2.

I thought that this was a pretty good book. I would defanately recamen this to other readers. The book ended in a wierd spot but it was good.

I thought that this was a pretty good book . In the story these boys went to this market to get there aunt Callies head medicine. When they got there they saw a family friend that was going there to get his sardines and some candy canes. The boy that was there would not give him what he wanted so he asked for the owner and he came out to see what the problem was and he gave him what he asked for. When he went back in there to get some tabacco the guy who owns the market shot him in the leg.

The book 'The Golden Cadillac' genre is realistic fiction. It is about how a father sells his car for a Cadillac and wants to drive it to the south: From Ohio to Mississippi. The conflicts are that 1.) Wilma's and Lois' mother do not like the new car and was very upset. And also 2) for a black man to go to the south with a new shiny perfect car police think he stole it. The theme is both preparations because the dad knew of this of the warnings and trust because the family had to trust the Father on knowing what he was doing. Wilma's and Lois' Father get pulled over by a police officer and he has to spend the night in jail. There are two things We liked about this book 1) the father wasnt afraid of going to the Mississippi, 2) he didnt listen to what this family thought about going to the Mississippi.
All kids would probably love reading this book.

The Gold Cadillac is a good short book. Its aboat a girl and her family. One day her dad comes home with a brand new cadillac. They already had a new Mercury. The dad shows the cadillac to everyone and everyone likeed it except the mom. She did not like the car because they were saving for a new home. She did not ride in the golden Cadillac until the dad went to Missisipi, and nobody wanted him to go because it was a bad place for him. You've got to remember that this book takes place in the 1960's. He and the whole family went. If you want to know what happens,read The Gold Cadillac by Mildred D. Taylor.

This is the best book of Mildred D' Taylor

1. The gold Caddilac
2. Road to Memphis
3. The friendship
4. The land
5. Roll of thunder hear my cry
6. Let the cricle be unbroken
7. The well david's story
8. Song Of trees
9. Mississippi Bridge

and thats it. This tells about a different family other than the logans for once. I think that is better because some of her books can stress but Road to Memphis is successful and fun to read. Mississippi Bridge sucks though.

It was a very inspirational book. It kind of made you feel like you were back in the days when there was segragation. i loved it!

This book basically sucked. It was so boring cause liek there was a ton of talknig and no action or adventure or even fantasy or excitement or blah blah blah.

I read the book The Friendship and the Gold Cadillac. It is a great book! It is about black and white (race.) Also how people should be treated. When I read this book it gave me some feelings. The book is sort of a short book. It also made me want to keep on reading it. I think you would enjoy it alot!

I teach a reading methods course in a large university. In an attempt to show them how to weave literature into multicultural and social studies themes I read a significant portion of The Friendship to my students. You could have heard a pin drop. My students were deeply moved by Ms. Taylor's use of language and descriptions of the intensity of the white's hatred of the African Americans. Some of my students were really disturbed by this, and stated they would feel reluctant to read this book aloud in their future classrooms. However, I explained to them that the feelings of indignancy they felt toward the Wallace's, and other prejudiced whites in the story were precisely what Ms. Taylor was attempting to illicit in her writings, and would be exactly what we would want our students to experience. Ms. Taylor's writings are effective because they are so vivid, and obviously so real to her. Because of that, they become real to us.

Cassie Logan and her brothers have been warned never to go to the Wallace store, so they know to expect trouble there. What they don't expect is to hear Mr. Tom Bee, an elderly black man, daring to call the white storekeeper by his first name. The year is 1933, the place is Mississippi, and any child knows that some things just don't happen. This is a powerful and emotional story. The reader will remember this story for years to come.
