I couldn't figure out why "Buddy" grates so much...... but I just remembered this book from when my middle child was in elementary school and I used to go in to help with reading groups. The kids in the group who were assigned this book (3rd/4th grade of several races) just couldn't comprehend the racism of the era. Which was good and bad at the same time
