Summary: The Yellow Star: A touching memior
Comment: Though the Yellow Star may appear nothing more than a picture book, it isn't. The Yellow Star is the touching story of the loved King Christian of Denmark. Before the war (World War II), Denmark was made up of all Danes, no race was stereotyped against. But, with the coming of the war and Hitler's anti-semitism, this changes. All jews are required to wear a yellow star on their clothing, to symbolize that they are different from others. Instead of Danes and Danes, Denmark was made up of Danes and Jews. King Christian, more powerful in character than in world influence will not stand for the treachery of his Danes, and requires the Yellow Star to be worn by all Danish citizens. Then, once again, "Denmark was made up of all Danes." Touching to the last word, this book deserves five stars and I highly reccommend it.

Summary: Beautiful Book
Comment: The Yellow Star is a beautifully told and illustrated story.
The story takes places during World War II in Denmark. The beloved King of Denmark is faced with protecting all of his people from the Nazi army.
When the King is told that all Jews must wear yellow stars, he decides to wear a star himself in hopes that his people will understand his meaning and all wear stars.
The story is only a legend. Author Carmen Deedy talks about which portions of the story are in fact true in a small section at the end of the book.
The language of the book and the illustrations are beautiful. It is a wonderful story.

Summary: History Grad. student
Comment: Authors should be more responsible in writing historical fiction, by sticking to the truth and not by distorting history. They ought to write their chara. around the history, not the other way!
