Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Mandy
Amazing Ida!!!!!!!!!!!
This book fulfilled my every desire and I think Ida B. is a great role model for children of all ages. Kathrine Hannigan is a wonderful author and I hope that she will write some more children's books in the near future. This book was fantastic and I felt the emotions of Ida B. and I wish she was a real person so I could meet her!!

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by mercedes
this is a good book
I think it is a good book because it is like a children's book because of all the plots in this story and it is a book that you can really get into and start liking. and you can find out yourself by reading this book.

Wonderful!
Katherine Hannigan has a gift that many people lack. My friend said the book was very boring, but I decided to read it anyways in order to give it a chance. I loved it! Katherine was able to craft the book through Ida's eyes perfectly, and Ida is portrayed wonderfully. She never steps out of character, and I could feel every emotion she felt. I knew how she felt at times, and the book has a special place on my bookshelf. I used it for a speech tournament, too.

The book was very charming. It was hilarious and made me laugh out loud at times, but it was still serious at other times.

Some people might think the book is weird or boring, like my friend did. 'She talks to TREES,' My friend had exclaimed in exasperation, and went on to tell how it was boring. It is not an action-packed book, but rather a book such as Because of Winn-Dixie or one of Jerry Spinelli's books. If you like realistic fiction through the eyes of children, you'll love this book!

Ida B AppleWood
This book is very good. I first thought it was boring but had to read it because it was for a book report we had to do in class. When I got into the book I could not put it down. I am now done and overall loved the book so much that I think I will read it again and again. This is a book I think every one should read that is interested in books about nature people and other things. This book have lots of action not just example "the dog played outside." It has funny talk and stuff like that.

P.S. If you have the chance to read this maybe you should know Ii am only ten and took time on a Monday morning to write this.

Thank you for your time!!
