Summary: Wonderful encouragement
Comment: Dinner at Aunt Connie's House tells of a african-american family gathering where paintings of *great women* come to life. This is a wonderful book that encourages young children that all dreams are possible, no matter what the obsticles. The only draw back is that the flow of the book is sometimes hard to follow. I would strongly encourage this book for any child, expecially girls, to let them know that anything is possible as long as they have a dream.

Rating: 3
Summary: A VERY SLOW READ.
Comment: It was very difficult for my students to sit through this book. It was PACKED full of useful information on many different women, but didn't have much of an overall story to keep the listeners interested. It went from woman to woman to woman, teling about each life story and accomplishment. It caused the children to think divergently. The storyline was touched upon briefly, mostly at the beginning and at the end. Personally, I liked this book because I enjoy black history. However, I do not advise reading this book to a large group of small children.

Rating: 5
Summary: This was an inspirational and motivating story!
Comment: My name is also Connie so I found this book quite interesting and so did my neice and nephew! The story was a great way to introduce several different African-Americans and their accomplishments in a very novel way. I found it to be quite an inspiring story. I am also a teacher. My class really enjoyed the book. The suspense built by the author kept my students actively engaged. They enjoyed painting their own portraits after hearing the story!
