This book is an excellent book for readers of all ages. Children that are too young for studying the Holocaust will gain much understanding from this book. This book was recently used in a high school classroom studying the Holocaust and students responded very well. The simple story and beautiful illustrations present the Holocaust in such a simple way that makes it easier for understanding the bigger themes later on.

This is a good book...if you read it as a picture book for adults. But I certainly wouldn't read this to my child. It is very disturbing, with pictures of the Terrible Things as shadowy figures with demonic faces. As the story goes, the Terrible Things keep returning to the forest to take away animals of a certain characteristic, until all that are left are the two rabbits. In the end, the little rabbit is left alone with no animals in the forest and wanders alone. It is quite a depressing book, but if you read it as a social commentary on the Holocaust it has meaning. But don't scar your children's imagination!

I purchased this book after attending a seminar for middle and high school social studies and English teachers. Bunting's book is a powerful story that can be used in numerous ways in the classroom. On the surface, it appears like a children's story, but anyone who has even a cursory understanding of the Holocaust -- and of all holocaust's -- can see the true meaning of the story. I recommend this book to all teachers.

This book tells about how the Holocaust could happen. So many times when things go wrong or don't look right, people have a tendancy to look the other way, not get involved, or "I better not help as I may have a problem too." In this book the different animals are removed one by one by the "terrible things." Everyone looks the other way- the only one to question why is a little rabbit and he is told not to get involved by his elders. In the end there is no one left,except the little rabbit who hid,- and the meadow is left silent and barren. Just as in the Holocaust years ago, if people had banded together, maybe this wouldn't have happened. I read this book to my LD 4th grade class. By the end of the book, outside of being able to hear a pin drop in the classroom, the kids asked "Why didn't anyone do anything?" I guess the author really got her point across!

This was a fabulous story to use to introduce my students to the Holocaust. Eve Bunting does a wonderful job telling this emotional story using an allegory of the Holocaust.
