Summary: Amazing, wonderful, awe inspiring yet deeply sad
Comment: What a fantastic, wonderful book - but not really for young children. The concepts are far too challenging. This is one for 9 to 99 year olds!
I am a year 6 teacher, and part of my History curriculum covers life during World War 2. Although we barely touch on the effects of the war for children abroad, this book covers a lot of it and introduces children to several challenging and disturbing concepts - thus tying together History and PSHE. It covers similar ideas to 'The Boy in Striped Pyjamas', but in a shorter and more instantly accessible format.
Rose Blanche is a young girl who discovers a concentration camp very near to where she lives. She visits regularly, not really understanding what she sees. The ending is sad, but the book is amazing!

Summary: 'Rose Blanche'
Comment: 'Rose Blanche' is an interesting book it leaves you thinking about it and makes you wonder what is going to happen.
It has lots of interesting parts and it is very educational. It is good for older chilldren learning about World War Two you could also read it to younger chilldren if you read a few sentances a day. It gives lots of imformation about things that happened during the war.
Rose Blanches mother never findes her and Rose Blanche could have been killed.
It is set in Germany and most other books about the war are set in England.

Summary: A review of Rose Blanche
Comment: This book allows you to understand what it was like for a German child during the war. I think this book is very good because many books are about English children or sometimes not children, but adults.
The pictures in the book are extraordinary because of the colours as they are very dull, but they great brighter.
At the end of the story Ian McEwen describes the Spring arrival as a little invasion. This is a good example of using imagery to create effects.
This book also shows that lots of children were in camps and did die and were not evacuated like the children in England.
I think this book would be good for an older junior age child who is learning about the war.

Summary: Special...
Comment: It is a very special book and I would recommend it to both children and adults.
This is a story of agony and pain intertwined with hope and the beauty of a child's nature.
Good Book!

Summary: War through the eyes of a child
Comment: When Rose Blanche discovers a concentartion camp in the woods near her home in a little German town she doesn't quite understand what she has found, but she knows she must help the starving children there and keep their secret from the adults, even her mother. Haubting and strangley beautiful book where the pictures tell the story but the simple childlike language just adds to the tradedy of the inevitable outcome. As much a book for adults as it is for children.
