A Picture Book of Anne Frank (Picture Book Biography)

This book tells they very much simplified version of the story of Anne Frank. The illustrations are all watercolor versions of photographs. I think this is a good book to use as an introduction into discussing the holocaust with younger students. It gives just enough information to open the door to discussion. ( )

I loved this book because it told the story of Anne Frank's struggles during WWII and the Holocaust. I loved the detail in the pictures especially the real-life sketches. This is a good book for young children to understand what was happening during that time. Her diary was a very helpful tool to learn the horrible ways of when the Nazis took over. ( )

Wonderfully retold, the story of Anne Frank and the events of the Holocaust are captured by the illustrations of the picture book, as well as by the text. We learn about the life Anne and her family faced during the war and their time in hiding. This book, unlike the other biography book I read about Anne Frank, covers their lives inside the concentration camps, and it tells of what happens inside. However, the level of the book is still low enough and simplistic enough to share with lower elementary levels. ( )

A story of Anne Frank and her struggle during WWII and the Holocaust. This is a good source to introduce the historical tragedy. The book contains real photographs of Anne, rather than all illustrations; this creates a more "real" feel to the story. This topic can be heavy and hard to understand for young readers, but this book does a good job of providing the right information without being too overbearing. ( )
