Anne Frank by Isabel Thomas
5.0
I absolutely love this series. What an incredibly clever way to make history accessible to young children, teaching them about important figures who have helped to shape our world.
Everyone knows the story of Anne Frank but it is sometimes difficult to sum up her life or the importance of her experiences for young, curious ears who hear her name. This book is the perfect means of introducing children to both the story of Anne and the horrors of The Holocaust. It also goes one step further in providing a brief overview of World War II.
The prose is very effective, making the story concise yet inclusive and informative, and the illustrations are beautiful. The timeline is both visual and useful, and the glossary of terms is brilliant for explaining any term used that a child may not understand.
A wonderful book that every child will benefit from reading. I will certainly be picking one up for our house. Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this.
