Reading: The Kindest Family

Today in Reading I read a book called 'The Kindest Family'. Mrs Anderson read it with me and we took turns reading the pages then I answered some questions about the story. My favourite part was when the rich lady became nice because she knew she should have been kinder to the ragged woman. I learnt to go back and look at the story if I cant remember what the answer is.
