Grade Level: 3-5
Readers who would enjoy this: I don’t think that younger children would necessarily enjoy this book because of the subject, I believe it is a step too far but I think that it’s a great book for older children especially when/ for studying a Holocaust chapter in the classroom.
Rating/Response: 3—I think that this was a very educational book for students but it does bring up a tough subject especially for young students who may not understand the severity of the situation that was at hand.
Question: What do you know about the Holocaust?
