(3) 4-6 Seven-year-old orphan Pierrot is sent to live with his aunt, who works as a housekeeper in Hitler's home in the Austrian Alps. As he grows up, Pierrot (renamed Pieter to sound a little more German and a little less French) develops a relationship with Hitler and grows into a cruel, immensely unlikable young man. Pierrot's evolution will encourage much discussion in this thought-provoking story.
