This book richly deserves the Newbery honor it earned and the story and its characters will stay with one long after finishing. Accomplished actor and host of "Reading Rainbow" LeVar Burton brings the novel to warm and full life. All we could ask for is a sequel, and then another....

Without a doubt!

The relationship between the older brother and his role in the family provides lot of laughs.

Excellent narration, the voice of an Actor who brings the story to life.

Yes

A great listening experience.

The Watsons go to Birmingham: 1963 has been one of my favorite books since I was in fourth grade, it's a funny and exciting book. LeVar Burton does a fantastic job of narrating he makes the story even more exciting than it is and the sound effects make the story sound even more interesting and gives you that nail bitting feeling of what is going to happen next. Whenever Alabama, ice box Michigan, or when someones in trouble I can sometimes listen him saying "Ready, aim, fire!", one of the catchiest lines that is said a lot throughout the book.Although I remember(in 4th grade) the ending of the story got a little scary, I remember it was interesting because the story's theme is about actual and relatively recent events that had happened here in our very own United States. It's a good book to read before a lesson about the African-American Civil Rights Movement to kids because the book doesn't talk about a lot of gory events that happened. It's a good opportunity to sit down with your kids and discuss about racism, human rights, etc. This book will always be in my top ten favorites list. If you liked this audiobook you should also listen to Bud, Not Buddy, another great story narrated by James Avery (also known as Phillip Banks from the Fresh Price of Bel Air)

I really enjoyed this book. It had a lot of wit. Heartwarming. It showed that all families are not perfect. I laughed out loud in several parts.
