The Family Under The Bridge!

     This is my second choice reading book and i truly love this book.

     It's called "The Family Under The Bridge" and it's sort of a short story because i wanna read something short right now.

     This story takes place in Paris in the early century and it's about a homeless man named Armand and he lives under a bridge in the street of Paris. He even finds a scrap of any sort to adorn his coat to make him look handsome. Everything he owns is in four wheels and he could push it around everywhere he goes and so his hole life is in the baby buggy without a hood. Armand loved his carefree life until something unexpected happens. He saw children's coming towards him and didn't know what to do so basically he ignored them. He tried his to ignore the family troubles but he couldn't resist because he cared to much to just ignore them. So he helped the family into moving them into his home which is under the bridge and he took care of them and helped them allot too. After awhile Armand realized that what he did was the best idea and he was so proud of it and knew a true friend when he saw one. It didn't take Armand to long to found a new family and the one he loved the most with all of his heart. Now the next thing he has to do is find a new and better home for his family instead of living under the bridge.




     I read this book a couple of time and it is so adorable and funny too. This is like one of top 10 favorite books and this show you how certain homeless people are lovable and hardworking. I love this book and i can't wait to read it in school and out of school. This would be a memorable story with warmth and a lilttle humor.

    This book sounds so cute. It actually makes me want to out and buy it & the video you posted is AWESOME! Have you gotten to the end? Do Armond & the family live happily ever after or not? I feel like this would be a cool book to write a sequel to. What do you think would happen in the next book?

  2. I think its cool that they turned what would sound by the plot to be a "kid's" story into a novel. I've never come across a book like that. It seems like a good book especially how you described how much you liked it.
