Lauren TarshisI Survived the Nazi Invasion, 1944 (I Survived #9) (9)

I actually read the book myself. I bought two copies. One I gave to my grandson...and hope he will share with the other grandkids when he's done. Or I just might buy them their own copy. This is a fictional story based on true facts. It is a story that is both terrifying, horrific based on what happened during those terrible war years in occupied Nazi territory. It is a book that will help young readers understand that particular war. It will also help them understand that good does win over evil, and thankfully the evil doers were defeated in this war. It teaches also what is tolerance, anti-Semitism, bigotry. What happens when people who are culturally different do not get along. It teaches that we must stand up for our fellow men against this kind of evil. It teaches that hopefully what happened during that time period never happens again. Anyone who wants their children to really enjoy reading, should order these I Survive books.

"Actually a very good book. I wasn't living back then but now I know some things that happened back then!"-my 9 year old autistic sonHe loves the "I Survived" books because they interest him. I love them because they are building a love for reading AND they open the door of knowledge about different historical events which opens teachable conversations.There isn't a lot of meat but it is a great intro for a young kid.

I bought these with my 3rd grade and 1st grade daughters in mind. Yes, they've enjoyed them (perfect for grades 2-4 or so) but my kindergarten and preschool sons have totally loved them, as well. These are fictional accounts based upon true events, and my sons particularly enjoy these stories read aloud, over and over again. We will definitely purchase more of the collection.

The "I Survived" series has captured my daughter's imagination. It isn't too often that she will sit down without a timer on and just read until she feels like getting up. I have seen her finish one of these books in a day. Not at all common for her.The author actually spoke at my daughter's school and that may have helped solidify my girl's interest. Her 4th grade teacher also had most of the books in this series available in her classroom, so the availability was a contributing plus.The subject matters chosen are fascinating and the characters created hold her attention. She has read the entire series so far and her favorites are: "I Survived the Gettysburg War" (war? who knew?) and "I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic". I hope that Lauren Tarshis keeps on churning these out because it helped turn my non-reader into a certified reader. And that, my friends, is a life-long blessing in this age of ipads & tablets.

Grandson wanted, Amazon had it shipped, I gave it for a Christmas gift and he loved it.All is good.Only reason for 4 star is that I never give 5 stars cause like me we all can do better.Thanks Amazon!

This was a Christmas gift for my son. He loves reading these books. They are very interesting and easy to read.

Very graphic and it was descriptive.Consider reading it! This was one of the best in the series and overall.

Students loved this historical fiction story about Nazi Germany! It helped them answer so many questions about the dark time in a considerate and respectful way. Highly recommend!

has describ!

A good book for children to appreciate past historical times and current times.

Pls write a book about ‘ British attacks India’ pls. I love your books that there are 3 left to read, and I will read them. Bye

Una manera de ensenarles a los ninos historia en un lenguaje y a nivel que ellos comprenden seria sensacional que los pudieran imprimir en espanol..... lo recomiendo ampliamente...

I wasn’t sure if this book was fiction or non fiction when I ordered it as I’ve not seen them before. It is a fiction book inspired by actual event and stories from survivors. This book is an easy and engaging read for adults and kids. Even kids that hate reading! After experiencing this book I straight away ordered a box set of 10 books. The only downside, which I easily look past, is the actual physical product is quite low quality and there are a couple of spelling mistakes. However, I’d still recommend this book as a great purchase!
