This is a wonderful biography of Anne Frank that also contains quite a bit of general history about the Holocaust. But: Huh?!
The illustrations are good but in my opinion they do not depict the people as they truly looked. Personally, I’d rather have had mostly photographs; there are plenty available.
The account, well, I read the inside front cover and thought maybe that information was for the adults. I saw this book on the library’s shelf and borrowed it to see how the c...more

3. A- The illustrations are the area for comment. The beautiful images help children visualize Anne, and show just how young and innocent she was.
B- The life of Anne Frank is short and tragic, her story must be handled with compassion. I thought this book’s strong points were the illustrations and the style of writing, which was direct and informative. Another strong ...more

To many people, Anne Frank is the face of the Holocaust. In this book, the author does a brilliant job of fully depicting the life of Anne Frank, and he does it in a way that skillfully includes the harshness of what happened without pushing the story too far. Beautiful compositions depict the reality of Anne’s life with great emotion. Illustrated black and white photographs are included throughout the book as if the events were documented and placed in a scrapbook. This is an excellent depictio...more
This book teaches about who Anne Frank was and what she endured. However, it censors it a bit in the form of a picture book so that younger children can be exposed to this important time in our history as well.

This is a great book. It tells the story of the life of Anne Frank. This would be a great book for 4th graders. The book has great pictures that help tell the story.
Great introductory book to Anne Frank. The illustration of Anne's dad on the last page of the book is heart-wrenching. The drawings are lovely.
