Review Quotes:
"In this Anne Frank installment, author Emma Berne does not skip the horrors endured by the Jewish people under Hitler and his Nazi Party, but she does keep it at a level that can be processed by the target audience. Berne most certainly does not mince words as she emphasizes the discrimination and anti-Semitism experienced by a whole nation of people and her Think Tank questions encourage thoughtful application to students' experiences today. It is perfect for use in literature circles in libraries and ELA classrooms." --Melanie J. Dulaney, teacher and librarian

Review Quotes:
"I love this biography series for new readers, and the bio of Anne Frank is one of the most interesting in the series. It includes a lot of the details of Anne's young, short life that help sustain a reader's interest and includes a lot of history as well. As with other books in the series, it includes color illustrations, timelines, and bite-sized information throughout that make the content manageable." --E. Burton, ESOL teacher

Review Quotes:
" The Story of Anne Frank is great for elementary readers and has just enough details to tell about her life. I loved that each chapter had thought-provoking questions and a timeline. After the wonderful story, there were some great multiple-choice questions to check to see if the reader comprehended the story. It's a must-have book in any elementary school library or classroom." --Brian Hopkins
