Anne was pleasantly surprised. Anne's room was cramped and bare. To brighten things up, she pasted pictures of landscapes, movie stars, members of the Royal Family, and art on the walls. As a teenager, Anne was growing fast during the hiding period. Her clothes were getting too small and her shoes started to pinch. By March , she only had a pair of clumsy ski boots to walk in.
One of the helpers brought her a pair of reed sandals, but they broke down in no time at all. In the end, helper Miep managed to buy her a pair of red suede shoes with high heels for a considerable sum.
It was not easy for Anne to share her small room with a man as old as her father. At the same time, Fritz Pfeffer had a hard time dealing with Anne, a rebellious teenager.
The first signs of friction were soon to follow. Their main conflict had to do with the writing desk. When Anne indicated that she would like to divide the time at the table more evenly, so that they could both work in peace, Fritz refused.
Anne was enraged and calm at the same time. Things got so heated that Anne asked her father to intervene. Eventually, Fritz gave in, but he did so reluctantly. When Anne had to go into hiding, the diary quickly turned out to be a great support to her.

That was when the warehouse workers started their working day, while the helpers in the office were not there yet. The men in the warehouse were not to know that there were people hiding in the Secret Annex. Any noise from upstairs might arouse suspicion, and so the people in hiding were absolutely forbidden from using the water drainage that ran along the storeroom.
Anne wrote in her diary. When the helpers arrived by 9 am, the people in hiding sighed with relief: time for breakfast. Otto would put his Dickens away for the day. What was the daily routine of the people hiding in the Secret Annex, how did they fight boredom, and what were the dangers they faced?
No two days were the same, but in her diary, Anne tried to describe an average day in the Secret Annex. Edith Frank was a religious woman. Unlike Otto, she had regularly gone to synagogue before they went into hiding. She had also brought her prayer books to the Secret Annex. During the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam, Otto Frank decides to hide his family, who are Jewish, after his daughter Margot is called to appear for transport to a Nazi labour camp.

Top review. Would love to have this movie on VHS. I saw this movie years ago, and remember that it was wonderful. I just wish that it was available in VHS. I also have the book and it is very informative. It filled in a lot of blanks for me. After I read the diary, I wondered how it all came about, how Anne and her family ended up in hiding. With Meip's book you get a feel for what was going on out side. Details Edit. For those looking to introduce Anne's writings or her story, this beautifully presented book is a worthy choice.
All rights reserved. Poole's compelling picture-book biography is for grade-schoolers who may not have read the Diary as well as for older children who want to know more. The author tells the story directly, setting Anne's life within the context of Hitler's rise to power and the vicious persecution of the Jews, first in Germany, then in Holland, where the Frank family was driven into hiding. Barrett's powerful, realistic pictures keep to Anne's viewpoint, showing the terror in the street and the anguish of leaving as well as Anne sitting alone in the attic writing or with her arms around fellow fugitive Peter.
Finally comes the nightmare climax of the Nazi raid, 'smash, crash, boots on the stairs. A detailed chronology of the history and the personal story conclude. Review ' 'Exquisitely and imaginatively illustrated, this is a sensitive retelling of the moving story of Anne Frank' - Jacqueline Wilson 'Josephine Poole and Angela Barrett produce a very different kind of classic.
Snow White and Joan of Arc are two books that every child should have. Everything here is perfect - tone, composition, imagination and mood. Joan of Arc is given a medieval feeling that conveys the idealism and painful youth of its heroine' - Independent on Sunday 'Barrett's illustrations interact with Poole's spare yet poetic account to create a truly stunning picture book in which the enigma of this charismatic, driven girl is poignantly evoked' - Books for Keeps on Joan of Arc 'Words and images complement each other with strength and grace' - TES on Snow White'.
Let us not forget those times By Gwynne C. Spencer The retelling is stark, compassionate, unsentimental. This would be a good readaloud intro in any classroom before launching into reading the diary, no matter the students' age. An end page lists the chronology of events, has contact info for Ann Frank House in Amsterdam. This is really for all ages. Compelling narrative and illustrations By Enrique Torres There are two editorial reviews here that summarize the book quite well.
I would like to concurr with another Amazon reviewer that states this would be a good book to read to students prior to any discussion in detail of ' The Diary of Anne Frank. It is a somber subject and should be treated as such I suppose; there is only one smiling group family portrait in the book. I would read this book to fifth graders and above only because of the subject matter and the questions and answers that will arise might be difficult for some youngsters to understand.
This is a good picture-book biography for a parent or teacher to use if they feel the audience is mature enough to handle hard questions and answers.
This book would make a worthy addition to the school library or community synagogue so that young people may better understand the injustices of the past and how they relate to contemporary times.
This was a wonderfully done picture book describing the life of Anne Frank By Shelli This was a wonderfully done picture book describing the life of Anne Frank, a young girl who sadly didn't live to see how much her writing continues to affect the world.
