My thoughts
  • The part I didnt like about the book is the
    ending. It wasnt very exciting but it was
    descriptive.
  • The part I liked about the book is when they
    showed Sounder bark, it was very descriptive and
    it showed Sounder had a marvelous bark. I think
    grade6s and grade5s should read it because
    Sounder is a very good book and the words are
    perfect for grade5s and grade6s.

  • Outstanding story.
  • Unusual events.
  • Noble dog.
  • Death.
  • Extraordinary dog.
  • Rough life.
