The movie however looks like it's aiming to be a tear-jerker. <BR/><BR/>I also think this would be a good way to introduce a child to this period in history. <BR/>And the subject matter doesn't seem too harsh for children imo. I know that both my boys read Anne Frank while in grade 3 which would have made them 8 or 9. Although Anne Frank is a good teaching book, the boys at our elementary library often complain that it's too 'girly', so Striped PJs would be beneficial as more of a non-girly book.Joanne ♦ The Book Zombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369534827454703222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-79501005430601246682009-04-11T08:46:00.000-06:002009-04-11T08:46:00.000-06:00I have been waiting my turn for this book at the l...I have been waiting my turn for this book at the local library for about 6 weeks now. I am very anxious to read it.<BR/><BR/>I am like you, in that I procrastinate reading books like this - about this time in our history - because I know I will become too emotionally attached. I am glad that is tempered somewhat in this YA novel.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414201637917215413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-26643521253815027632009-04-11T08:42:00.000-06:002009-04-11T08:42:00.000-06:00I listened to this one and thought that the audio ...I listened to this one and thought that the audio version was a good choice.
