(4) K-3 Illustrated by Josée Bisaillon. Benno the cat's life changes for the worse after the city's synagogue and stores are destroyed and many of his friends disappear. This depiction of Kristallnacht is affecting and the collage-like illustrations dramatic, but the book's audience is unclear. The treatment could supplement other more-detailed books on the event for older readers. An afterword is included. Reading list. Bib.
