I bought this book as part of my recommended supplement for my second year of family education. The whole length of chapters and books matches her reading level and there is no obvious major word. Therefore, this will make people believe that the purpose of this book is a young elementary school. I believe that the girl in the book is a 4th grade, perhaps it should show that it is not suitable for my daughter.
Either way, the book is very boring, there are several competing subplots, none of which are very developed, but all of them are distracting from the main story. In their house, she wrote a letter to the president's wife asking for help.
The first half of the book is about to describe this situation, but only when someone already knows about the Great Depression. For elementary school students who know what it is, this book does not indicate what is happening or why.
The real confrontation of this story (about the girl's house) was finally introduced on the way. Please use undefined "sheriff auction" and other terms for discussion. This makes reading a hassle because I have to quit constantly to explain what happened. My daughter asked, "When did she write the letter?" This letter is actually only a part of the story. I just wrote the last one or two chapters I believe and it was settled soon.
There are several exciting parts, such as the hero who is looking for her brother and believes that she is being championed by cards and gypsy. But beyond that, it is not a very fun reading
Children's letter to Mrs. Roosevelt shows that the shameless and innocent childhood mentioned in Teckel (1970) and Michael Wain (1983) is not universal. These letters indicate that many children and young people understand that they are ashamed of being worse than others. Two weeks after Christmas in 1933, a letter from Mason, Wisconsin was handed to the first woman of poor little girl. I am ten years old. I was waiting for Santa Claus, but my mother said that the chimney was blocked and he could not come, so my Christmas is very bad. I am looking forward to Santa Claus bringing something to me. ... I saw how good you are to poor people in the newspaper, you probably can help me. I always appreciate it. Today, we plan to go to school from Christmas holidays, all the children are talking about the number of gifts from Santa.
Another characteristic of Mrs. Roosevelt's letter should stop those who believe that young people will protect the poor children from disgrace. These letters contain frequent, meticulous and even intense demands from First Lady to keep secret requests for important aid. Therefore, teenagers in Greensboro, North Carolina revealed to Mrs Roosevelt that most of the young authors of Mrs. Roosevelt were overwhelmed by their problems and could not raise partisan political issues. But at a deeper level, these letters have deep political colors. Many of the letters are based on Mrs. Roosevelt and New Deal to Washington to relieve pain and help poor people. These young people seem to always want to satisfy their financial assistance requirements personally to Mrs. Roosevelt. Indeed, Mrs. Roosevelt will convince them they will look forward to her help, giving them the deadline they need, they give them the deadline they need them.
