Upside Down and Backwards

Upside Down and Backwards by Diane Gonzales Bertrand

I really liked this collection of short stories. As a child I liked short stories. I still like them today. Sometimes it is nice to pick up a book and finish reading it in the same sitting. This book is a good way to teach kids that short stories are not just for picture books and little kids. I liked the story about Diana's party. I think every kid has been embarrassed about a family member at one time. I remember when it was embarrassing to have my parents around. As children we don't realize that other people don't recognize or mind all those little things that seem embarrassing to us about our parents or relatives.
