Summary: |
If you wonder why read another book on Anne Frank, look at this beautifully and realistically illustrated story that simply relates the political situation and gives the characters more three-dimensional personalities. A chronology in the end papers adds to classroom use. |
Teaching Ideas: |
This book is a welcome addition to text sets on the Holocaust and on Anne Frank. Readers may want to keep a diary for a week or two using it to record reactions to events and then write a summary at the end of the time. If using this book with the actual Diary of Anne Frank, readers will want to make comparisons. They can also discuss how the characters in this book take shape from her diary. Since over 60 years have passed since the first printing of her diary, students might write an "unsent letter" to either Anne or Otto Frank to tell what difference the diary has made in the world. The end paper also gives the web site of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam www.annefrank.org. |
