The Great American Dust Bowl by Don Brown
Describes, in graphic novel format, the DustBowl era of the 1930s when dust storms raged across the heartland of the United States.
***Good. This book gives us a good overview of the years that made up the Dust Bowl in the US. Can you imagine living like that with dust everywhere....even in your food?
*** good. I wonder how it would feel in that problem at that time . I like how at the end of the book it had two pictures of the dust over the city. I would like to experience how it would be like to have dirt in your food and have to clean dirt off your cloths and tables. All in all this wasn't a bad book.
**OK It was an interesting book but i wasn't very hooked. I enjoyed how descriptive it was. I agree with Mrs.McClain, that would be horrible and I would be SO grossed out. The pictures were good but i do not enjoy reading picture books anymore.
***Good. I liked it because it show you how people lived in the old days. And i like that at the begining that it shows you how a lake,ocean and river was created. The dust part was cool because it showed you what people had to do when there was a dust storm.
***good the people were geting lost in the dust storms and dying and geting thrown to the ground. all the people were trying to cover there house so the dust wouldnt get in they covered with sheete or wet rags . when the farmers selled there horses to get tractors to cut the weat and to sell it. it didnt rain it was just all sunny they were all hot aned sweaty
***good the people were geting lost in the dust storms and dying and geting thrown to the ground. all the people were trying to cover there house so the dust wouldnt get in they covered with sheete or wet rags . when the farmers selled there horses to get tractors to cut the weat and to sell it. it didnt rain it was just all sunny they were all hot aned sweaty
****Great I like how it shows how it was like in the dust storm. The people who tried to protect their house from the storm did it with rags. That shocked me. This book is a great book about the dust storm. I would totally recommend it.
***Great! I enjoyed the book because it's educational.One thing I found interesting was how many facts there where!I'd recommend this book to a friend because it's a graphic novel!
***Good! I want to know if this story is real or Historicl Ficton, because if it is, maybe there are going to be more dust storms. How did any animals survive after the dust storms, to me it would be clear that they all died. Well it was a good book but i couldn't get the setting right and im asuming they were in the desert, maybe i just didn't read everything, because my pages were sticking.
***cool\ The book is kinda depressing if you think about it but the pictures are funny. the people had hardships against dust dust and more dust. I would recommend to people who would like to know about the Great American Dust Bowl or just the history of it at least.
**OK my favorite part was when the snow looks like chocolate snow. Still very depressing and I was not really Hocked. I also like how it says that the rockies were born. Plus the pictures at the end were good pictures. I recommend this book to a person who likes natural disasters.
**** Great. I loved this book.This book taught me alot about dust.There are lots of different kinds of dust. There were hard times in the great american dust bowl.
**** GREAT i like how it shows the dust and sand.I wonder how it would feel having dust all over the place and even in your food. i suggest this to my friend zane because he likes sience
great**** the man was in a dust blow and i did not like when the dust and sand came by and thay keep geting dust blow and the sand LOOK FOR IT AT YOUR SCHOOL
***Ok I enjoyed this book because it talks about how dust storms affected people. One thing I found interesting was that when they say that it looks like chocolate snow. I'd recommend this book to a friend because it talks about Dust Storms.
****good This was a good book I liked that the book showed pictures and explained the pictures next to it. I would recommend this book to friend that likes history.
**not so good i thought it would of been better the name was pretty self explanitory so the great American dust bowl came and they all lived in a small town that was very dry and that was the biggest one ever at the time and they where very scared and read the book to find out more
good****i liked this book because it was about a big dust storm that went threw a town and people had to try to save their crops and farm i recommend read it if you like to here about different types of storms.
***ok I thought this book was ok cause it was sad and a little boring I think It could have a little more exsitment but other wards this is a good book learnig all the facts
****good,this book is good because it was entertaing ,informative and since we learned about this in 4th grade i liked this a lot me and my dad love history and defently american history,so i reccomend this book to not just someone who likes histor but everyoney
****GOOD this book at the beginning it was saying that they used to work a lot and didn't have time to have fun which means they worked almost all day. and that it was very bad with the dirt and the insects and stuff .eww wouldn't want to be there.
***GOOD OK so it is sad because the people that work never have a break or free time so means they don't get to their family so much and i bet more then half of the boys in my class would die without any free time.Any way i don't like the part when dirt tornado thing was destroying a lot of homes which was sad for a lot of family . Even though it was a picture book it was still heart breaking for some people especially for me.
ok*** I liked how it looked like the people were talking so its kind of like a comic book! Also it reminded me of when we had a drought but it wasn't that bad. Also I liked how it had good description in the book. And very well detailed pictures!And because it had well detailed pictures it felt like i was in the book. I recomened this book to you.
**** I love!!!!!!! this book it is so good because it is a true story and I love history it put two great thangs together reading and history I hope more people read this book
***Good.I though this book was very interesting because I learned lots of facts, but it was sad how some people died because of all the dust.I don't understand how some people lived so long while that happening.
***okay I kind of liked it. I'm very interesting about the American dust bowl. is it real? my favorite part is about the facts that it teaches me about dusts and sicknesses.
*** good I thought this was an interesting book about when the dust storms came. Animals died and people became sick. The worst duster storm was April 14, 1935.
