I read it to both of my daughter's and they loved the story. Never having been to New York City, they both commented how they could picture what it looked like. Charlene Joy Talbott used such great imagery to tell her story. As I re-read the story with my daughter's I remembered how much I love this book. I, too, remember this book fondly.

My mother subscribed me to the Weekly Reader books. Lots of memories. I loved other books, like Reggie's No Good Bird, many Beverly Cleary books, and one about a girl who was a dog painter. Wish I could remember the title of that book. I loved this book and many others. My mother subscribed me to the Weekly Reader books. Lots of memories.

It made quite an impression on me in the fourth grade and that was over 30 years ago! For so many years I have thought about this book, but could not remember the title! I just recently got in touch with my fourth grade teacher via facebook and she remembered the title. I really want to get a copy. I am Upstate in a very old library so I am going to see if they have the book. I loved this book. I still think about the characters and what they had to go through. When I get a copy of this book I am definitely going to read it to my 6th grade students. Thank you all for remembering Tomas and having this blog. I am so happy to know that there are other people who loved this book as much as I did. I have always remembered this book!

Your review's great; I'm going to try to find a copy for my niece! I just remembered this book a minute ago; this was my absolute favorite book as a kid, and I was wondering if it was still in print.

I just remember Tomas making a meal of things like tomatoes and cheese that he'd found in the alleys of hte city. His ability to take care of his sister always has stayed with me. This would be a good read for many of the kids that I work with in the middle school level. So many of them take our abundance for granted, while they are but a heartbeat away from being homeless themselves. Education is the key. I've got to get my hands on a copy of this book.
