Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-This well-researched work explores the girl's life before, during, and after her time in hiding from the Nazis. Lee is obviously taken with her subject but does not fall prey to hero worship. In a clear, engaging style, she shares details of Anne's life, including a letter to an American pen pal. Dialogue is carefully footnoted, as is any mention of feelings or opinions. Black-and-white photographs of the Frank family and the Annex are included. The book offers speculation about who might have betrayed the Franks and ends with a discussion of memorials to Anne around the world. Sandor Katz's Anne Frank (Chelsea, 1996; o.p.) does not have as much information about Anne's life before hiding; Johanna Hurwitz's Anne Frank (JPS, 1988) does not have photographs. This solid biography will supplement classroom study and is a good choice for reports or leisure reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for kids 8 to 11,
By fificat (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anne Frank's Story: Her Life Retold for Children (Paperback)
This is a great book for kids who are a little young for the actual story written by Anne Frank herself. My daughter is nine and she really liked it. Although it is faithful to the true story it avoids some of the heartwrenching detail that children in the 8-11 age group may not be ready for. We purchased it because my daughter had to read a book about a person who really lived for her reading log. I would have no hesitation in recommending this book.

In this fantastic book, you learn everything about Anne Frank! There are pages with photographs, even a chart with pictures of her from 1935 to 1942! You could see how much she grew up,too. They show a picture of her as a toddler and an infant.In this book, your emotions change from happy to sad during her life
