Bud not buddy is a great book to read. Amazing and non-violent. A great book for kids.
Bud Not Buddy is a good book because it shows the feelings that the characters show when certain things happen. For instance, when Bud was in the Amoses' shed and he was stung a-lot by bees. You may also feel like you are there when it is happening. i know that you will love this book once you understand that this is The Great Depression when he is trying to get on the train for free. I hope you will read the book and enjoy it as much as I am. By Joanne
Bud, Not Buddy is a book about a 10 year old kid, Bud. His mom died when he was only six. He's now trying to find his dad. He goes through a lot of trouble trying to find his dad.
I could really connect with this book because all of my belongings are really special to me.
I think you should read the book to find out if he finds his dad.

BUD, NOT BUDDY is a great book for students because it crosses the misery of the Great Depression and the funny character of Bud Caldwell. I could not put this book down. I made a lot of connections with the book because Bud reminds me of myself because I am feel like he does many times. He feels lonely, and sometimes I do too.
Bud, Not Buddy is a good book for grades 3-6. The book talks about a orphan that lived in the orphanage because his father left him when he was a boy and his mother pasted when he was 6. Bud gets taken care of by a family but their son, Todd is very mean. He sticks a pencil up his nose and beats up Bud. After that, Bud decides to leave the family and find his father. You can join Bud on this cool journey.
