Benno and the Night of Broken Glass by Meg Wiviott


Wiviott, Meg Benno and the Night of Broken Glass, illustrated by Josee Bisaillon.  Kar-Ben (Lerner), 2010.  PICTURE BOOK.  Benno has lived as a street cat along a normal street in Berlin for a long time.  Everyone on the street loves him and works together to keep him happy. It’s 1938 however, and things are changing on Benno’s street and after the night of broken glass, nothing will ever be the same again.  This little book is sensitive enough that it would be useful for smaller children to hear as they learn about the Holocaust.  EL, MS – ADVISABLE.
