This children's book helps parents and educators explain 9/11 to young children in an age-appropriate, non-traumatic way. Customers said the book is "factual but not too in depth," with "fabulous" illustrations and a respectful approach. Many praised how it focuses on heroism and unity while teaching history. Suitable for ages 3-8, though some noted older kids benefit more.
- Deals with a very difficult topic...illustrations are just fabulous.
- Absolutely age appropriate for my 4 and 5 year olds. There was no fear.
- Historically accurate and age appropriate for young children.
Excellent read for children to understand the acts of terrorism that were perpetrated on our country. We read this many times in the home and again at the "Tunnels to Towers" event. My kids we able to understand how amazing our community is and how wonderful our country is. God Bless America and the families who lost and sacrificed so much for this nation. We appreciate you. Thank you for your heroism.
I am very pleased at how well this book deals with a very difficult topic, and I have admit, I cry when I read this book. This book is a great way to keep America’s promise to never forget. The illustrations are just fabulous.
Great take for kids on a tragic yet monumental piece our nations history. You should do one on Pearl Harbor as well.
Love this series for the classroom! Tells the facts in a cute way that my students enjoyed!
Prager University does everything well and this September 11th book is no exception!! Succinct and clear the message is not inflammatory, but simple. On this date a terrible tragedy occurred. Absolutely age appropriate for my 4 and 5 year olds. There was no fear - just explaining the events. This is a very difficult topic to share with young children but I feel strongly that my class should be aware of these significant events like this. I trust Prager University to provide information I can trust.
This is a great book that teaches young ones what happened on that fateful day. Never forget.
What I liked about this book is it explained 911 at a young child's level. It made it easy to explain the reason for the rememberance.
Great product
Great book for teaching 8 years and above. I did read it to my 4 year old grandson but I substituted words and phrases. He got the point well.
The best kids books to learn about patriotism and America.
This is a great book for kids about 9/11.
Very factual but not to in depth on the facts for younger readers.
I so appreciate Prager U and everything they're doing to help kids learn correct history and correct principles. This book was great for my kids. It taught about 9/11 in a very sensitive but serious manner, while still being entertaining for kids due to the introduction of a fun character. My husband read the very end, where it contains additional details about 9/11, and he broke down crying, which then led the rest of us to cry tears of sorrow and admiration for those that lost their lives that day. Truly an inspiring and educational book worthy of any home or community library.
Excellent for an understanding of September 11 for children. This is part of a series with Dennis and his dog. They are wonderful and do a great job explaining whatever date, or subject, the book is about. The latest is on Veterans Day. It is also excellent.
Excellent truth in this book…to educate my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren!!!
Authentic view on the horrible events of 9/11 made just for children. Doesn’t sugarcoat what happened at all, including who masterminded the plot. Great work PragerU!
Great book to teach kids about 9/11. My boys loved it.
Very well written, great illustrations, perfect for helping young children understand the events that took place around 9/11. Great book!
PragerU represents the true American value - the one we came here for. We buy all PragerU books for the kids to grow up to love their country, not hate their country. It's totally fine to note all the imperfectness of America, but it is still the best country on this earth. Go elsewhere if you hate it. Try living in a totalitarian country and be completely deprived of freedom of speech and religion.
I was initially skeptical that this topic could or should be covered in a children's book, especially in an effective manner, but PragerU managed to pull it off. This book deals with a potentially sensitive topic (which is generally going to be significantly more touchy for the parents reading it than for the kids listening) in a manner that manages to be not only respectful, but tactful, informative (sufficient for a young child), clever, and pleasant to look at. It doesn't (and can't) let your child experience what it was like to be alive on 9/11, but neither can any experience or piece of media—any more than I can ever know what it was like to live through the JFK assassination, the moon landing, or either world war. It does impart the important take-aways, though. My 4-year-old loved seeing the pictures and hearing the story, and it's made this book a valuable part of her collection.
Great book breaking down a tragic event for kids and finding the positive in it and explaining the importance of 9/11
Our next generation needs to know history as it happened.
Found the book to go over topics in a non hateful manner. Enjoyed reading the book and being able to explain things in my own words as well
3½ Y girl her favorite book
This story is historically accurate and is age appropriate for young children. The pictures depict the truth and will hold a child’s attention. Beautifully done!
This was written at a young reader's level. The artwork is captivating and the historical event is truthfully and tastefully presented.
Written at a kids level, focusing on facts and events rather than the actual horrors and feelings. Won't traumatize while educating and opens the discussion door about the subjects of 9/11 and terrorism and current events.
All of the Otto's books are well written and explain well to children!
Thus is a cute book. The story line is good and gives children a great way to learn about 911. I love these Otto tale books by PragerU
In a time when public school teachers are being told to use the anniversary of September 11 as an opportunity to teach about racism (as if that were under-taught), this book actually retells the story of heroism during and after the attacks.
My child was not born when this tragic moment happened so having a story to read helped him understand why it broke so many hearts in America.
