What We Thought, January 23, 2001

My third grade students at Bi-Cultural day School in Stamford, CT just completed The Courage of Sarah Noble, by Alice Dalgliesh. The students were eager to share their reactions to the historical fiction novel. Stacey Shaener

I would recommend this book to a friend because you are itching to know how John cures himself and that’s what I think makes a good book…Ari

I liked this book because… John got the chocolate touch and it was exciting when all those things turned into chocolate . It was exciting when his food turned to chocolate because it tasted yummy. …Claire

I like this book because it shows you not to just care about yourself like John did, but to care about other people. That’s why I like the book …Daniel R

I disliked this book because I knew what would happen all along the way because it gave me lots of clues. One of the clues was the picture on the cover. It showed me John’s mom as chocolate….Eugene

I would recommend this book because this boy John made everything turn to chocolate. My favorite part of the story was when an older boy named Spider Wilson, who went to John’s school,saw John eating his gloves. Spider Wilson said,”Why are you eating your gloves?” John told him they tasted like chocolate,but when Spider Wilson tried his didn’t. They tasted awful…Hannah

I liked this book because it was funny. It was funny when John was eating his gloves and he turned his mother into chocolate. . . Jeffrey

I would recommend this book to a friend because it was funny in some parts like when John was eating his glove and when he was bobbing for apples and the water turned to chocolate. ..JEREMY

I would recommend this book because everything John put in his mouth turned into chocolate and his trumpet also turned into chocolate. I think that’s cool. …Jonathan

I would recommend this book because I liked the part when John kept trying to tell the storekeeper about his mother but the storekeeper kept talking about something else. This was a funny part….Kayla

I disliked this book because it didn’t let you fill the blanks in on your own.It just told you what happens and it was not very exciting because you could guess what was going to happen. …Lauren

I would recommend this book to a friend or family because it tells lots of details and there are only a few pictures. Since there are only a few pictures, you get to picture how things look in your mind. I really liked The Chocolate Touch…Miles
