The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

"Little Guides to Great Lives: Anne Frank" is a little illustrated book for children that introduce them to the life of Anne Frank and the atrocities of WWII.
I like the concept behind this book. The text is simple so children can understand it. Plus, at the end of it there's a glossary where the most difficult world are explained.
I feel like this series will be a great welcomed addition to bookstores, libraries and classrooms for children.

I received this arc from Netgalley for an honest review. This is the story of Anne Frank and her family as they go into hiding. There’s a lot of information but there’s also a lot of pictures and kids will get a good idea of her life while in hiding.

Wonderfully accessible for children and beautifully illustrated. The book uses simple language which manages to successfully condense the story of Anne's life without losing any of the impact of her experience, or the political and socio-economic climate of the time.

WoW................Anne Frank by Isabel Thomas, illustrations by Paola Escobar just took my breathe away.

I found this book one of the "** Best illustrated**" books about Anne Frank and it has been beautifully put together.
It's for children and young people. This book is crammed about her life and her family etc. This would be great for school projects and discussions etc with other children.

Every child should taught the Story of Anne Frank and I would Highly recommend this book especially for schools and Library's etc.

Just Brilliant throughout. This will be purchased for my nephew.

*Big Thank you, to NetGalley for an eBook advanced reader's copy of this title. I was provided with this title prior to publication in exchange for an honest review.*

I absolutely love this series. What an incredibly clever way to make history accessible to young children, teaching them about important figures who have helped to shape our world.

Everyone knows the story of Anne Frank but it is sometimes difficult to sum up her life or the importance of her experiences for young, curious ears who hear her name. This book is the perfect means of introducing children to both the story of Anne and the horrors of The Holocaust. It also goes one step further in providing a brief overview of World War II.

The prose is very effective, making the story concise yet inclusive and informative, and the illustrations are beautiful. The timeline is both visual and useful, and the glossary of terms is brilliant for explaining any term used that a child may not understand.

A wonderful book that every child will benefit from reading. I will certainly be picking one up for our house. Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this.

Thanks to NetGalley and Laurence King Publishing for an advanced look into this book.
The calming colors help the reader to take in the subject and continue the legacy of a child who must not be forgotten. I look forward to reading many more books in this series,The Little Guides to Great Lives.

This is a lovely illustrated book telling the story of one of the most famous schoolgirls from the last century. This is the perfect gift for the young person in your life. This book tackles a very tough and emotive subject but does it in a sensitive way without suffering from dumbing down.

Beautifully illustrated, warmly written simple summary of the story of Anne Frank. It was done in a clear well executed way and was honest without being traumatising, and boils down her life to the essentials while still being interesting.

This book is an entry in a series entitled, Little Guides to Great Lives. It is indeed a good guide to the very significant, short life of Anne Frank. Anne's story is a difficult story for children to learn; it is about a young girl who died too young in a horrible way for nothing that she did wrong, but for being Jewish during a period of great antisemitism and war. I always wish that children did not have to know such a painful story but the lessons from Anne's life are too important to shield children from.

This book tells Anne's story well. It shows the many ways in which she was a normal girl in an abnormal time. She had a loving family, friends and parents who tried their best to protect her. Her early life, her time in the annex and her life in a concentration camp are all detailed.

The illustrations add greatly to this story. They are in simple colors but filled with life and emotion. Important people have their portraits with some facts beneath them. Anne's imagination is brought to life in one spread that I especially love.

This is an important story and one that needs to be understood. Young readers will perhaps be inspired to read Anne's diary after reading this book.

Of note is that there is a section in the back of the book with additional information including definitions of terms that children might not know.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this little guide to a great life. The opinions expressed are my own.

A good introduction to Anne frank for children , sensitively handled but using interesting illustrations hooks the reader in wanting to know more.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

Ideally pitched for primary school libraries and other educators, this pictorial book shows all the context behind the Anne Frank diaries, as well as giving the bare bones of her biography. The strong design only uses two colours, but does it well, and the whole piece is most distinctive as a result. With many similar books out there already this might struggle to find the audience it deserves, but it could hardly have been done better.

This is an easy to read, brief book about Anne Frank. It presents a difficult subject in a way that is accurate and interesting. The illustrations are excellent. I would recommend this book for 5th grade or higher because of the subject matter.

An excellent illustrated biography of Anne Frank. Perfect for elementary students. I love that the book contained more details than some of the board book biographies I often come across, but not too many details for children to understand. I also appreciated the use of maps, timelines and other text features. My daughter will love this book!

Little Guides to Great Lives is an excellent series for younger children. I’d say 2nd grade through 4th. The books are illustrated biographies of some of the most inspirational figures in history.
The one granted to me by Lawrence King Publishing was about the life of Ann Frank. While she is well known for who she was and the diary she wrote I did come away with information I had either forgotten or never known. I feel children will immediately take to the books where text is accompanied with lovely illustrations. I escpecially liked the diagram of the secret annex. It was actually bigger than I had imagined, but since so many people were hidden there, I’m sure it was quite cramped.
The text portrays the struggles of Ann and her family as well as their stamina and bravery. The timeline at the end of the book puts her whole life in perspective.
I feel this series will be a huge welcomed addition to libraries and classrooms for beginning researchers.

Although short, Anne Frank: Little Guides to Great Lives is full of information, beautiful illustrations, and helpful maps. I have taught the dramatized version of The Diary of Anne Frank for four years now, and even I learned something new from this book. I am excited for its full publication so that I can share it with my students and incorporate it into my curriculum. The maps and simple explanations of often difficult subject matter will help my lower-level readers understand the content of the play and hopefully inspire my students further to read Anne's diary for themselves and to see others by our similarities instead of our differences.
I look forward to reading more books in this series on Little Guides to Great Lives.

A beautiful and timeless tribute to one of the world's most endearing figures. The illustrations really elevated the story to a new level.

This a wonderfully illustrated book for children and young people with a simple and moving text.
It is the story of the Franks, a family of German Jews who with the rise of Nazism emigrated and transferred their business to live, work and attend school in Amsterdam.
When the World War II began, German expansion led to the invasion several countries including the Netherlands. The occupying powers soon instigated the same rigorous anti-Semitic regime which unsettled the Frank family, ensured they lost business rights and freedom of movement. Fearing the worse the family along with countless others in the occupied countries went into hiding.
Among their family was a bright and aspiring writer we still remember today as Anne Frank. She had for a few years been keeping a diary. That writing, because it was insight into dramatic historical events. A first-hand historical voice, that because of her humour, honesty and candour when it was passed to the surviving member of the family has become an international best seller.
In today's multi-media, instant news, iPhone messaging and recording such a time cannot be so easily imagined, the need for a teenager's heartfelt thoughts and account has never been more relevant. Especially, when many in today's generation, challenge the reality of the holocaust and the rise of anti-Semitism undermines the UK political Labour party.
I would hope that this background account, although drawn from Anne's diary, will encourage many young people and new readers to read her diary in its entirety.
It is amazing that this young woman has touched so many lives over the past 70 years and has the potential to change attitudes and inspire today and future generations.

Review to be posted in April.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I was very eager to read this one, and thankfully the publisher allowed me to read this one, yay! I just adore Anne Frank and I have re-read her diary many times. Of course I had to try out a new book about her, this time for kids with gorgeous illustrations.

Yep, that is the main reason I wanted to read this one... the illustrations. If they were anything like the cover, I knew I would love them. And I did. They were pretty and I loved that they used the same colours for each of them. Red, purple-ish/blue, brown. It really fitted with the story/the theme/the characters. I also loved the style of them.

The story tells us all about Anne Frank, about the war, about them hiding, about her dreams and hopes, and then how it ends for Anne Frank, but how her story of course lives on. With her diary being published, edited and told again and again. I really loved reading this book, I am so happy that Anne's memory lives on, that her dream (while she won't see it) came true. She is famous, for who she is and for her writing.

I would recommend this one to everyone.

This is a beautiful, informative read about the life of Anne Frank. The illustrations are perfect and there's a timeline at the back that reinforces the story.
