Explanation In Favor Of Books It's Not the End of the World

Karen couldn't tell Mrs. Singer why she had to have her Viking diorama out of the sixthgrade showcase. She felt like yelling, To keep my parents from getting divorced. But she couldn't say it, and the whole class was looking at her anyway.
Karen's world was ending. Her father had moved out of the house weeks before; now he was going to Las Vegas to get divorced and her mother was pleased! She had only a few days to get the two of them together in the same room. Maybe, if she could, they would just forget about the divorce. Then the Newman family could be its old self again -- maybe. But Karen knew something she didn't know last winter: that sometimes people who shouldn't be apart are impossible together.
So she felt like yelling at Mrs. Singer. And then Mrs. Singer did a surprising thing....

Critique Based On Books It's Not the End of the World

Grade: BI was a child in the 1970s, when I first read Judy Blume's groundbreaking book IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. At the time, I didn't know anyone with divorced parents and by the time I graduated high school, I only knew of a handful. Kids today probably know as many untraditional families as they do families with a mom and dad. Add that to a lack of electronics and this book feels dated. The feelings Karen experiences are as relevant today as they were yesterday, albeit perhaps for a

I read this book when it came out in 1972, I was 11 at the time and a massive reader then as now. My progression in reading went from Dr Seuss, to Frances Lattimore and Carolyn Haywood, to Beverly Cleary and last but not least Judy Blume.I had no memory of this book at all, after all 44 years is a long time. I was surprized to see the word bastard in a kid's book, then it struck that that is the reason so many of Judy's books are on the banned books list. I loved it - I probably enjoyed it now

This is a Judy Blume book that I had never read as a pre-teen or teen. Maybe because my parents never got divorced, so this book wasn't as interesting to me. I can see how children with parents going through a divorce would appreciate this story though, as Karen grapples with her feelings and the turmoil in her household as her parents fight, separate, and divorce.

I think it was a good book because it showed about children dealing with their parents getting divorced and how they have to understand everything their parents are dealing with. Also, it shows that how the children might be affected about the divorce like it could affect them in their school work or it might start putting things in their head and start to worry about things that they shouldn't think about. In this book, it shows about friendship and how sometimes you have to trust your friends

Personal Response I thought the book, Its Not the End of the World, was good. The story was relatable for me. My parents are divorced, so I was able to relate to Karen and her siblings. The divorce went over better for my parents though. I thought it was good Karen was able to make a good friend with someone she could talk to about what was going on in her life. PlotKarens parents were fighting, about almost everything. The mom, Ellie, got mad at the dad, Bill, for not being around. When tall

Great book for kids going through a divorce, even if a few of the details date the book. Karen Newman is perfectly drawn, and her brother Jeff is just right as well. I love it that their mother is far from perfect, smashing figurines on the floor, putting her head down on her plate to cry and getting gravy in her hair. Typical Judy Blume, an unsentimental snapshot of a marriage breaking up, from the kids' point of view. Good reading for all ages.

Another solid Judy Blume book! She does handle the topic of divorce well, and this still feels very relevant, even if a few specific details may no longer apply, such as certain divorce laws. Engaging, thoughtful and wonderfully relatable.
