Content: G; Violence: G. EARLY READER
This is a Level
3 step into reading book about Anne Frank. The book provides a bit about her
background, how she was once just a normal girl. It then delves into how World
War 2 affected her life and how her family had to go into hiding. It talks
about how the Chestnut tree she could see from the attic window helped her feel
calm and brave. It concludes with how Anne’s writing and her chestnut tree
continue on today.
This was a
wonderful book, I loved the tie-in of the chestnut tree. I am not sure that typical
age of Level 3 readers are ready for the mental and emotional challenges of
learning about World War 2. But this would
be a great book for upper grade low level readers though, I find its good to
have a range on the important subjects.
