This edition is apparently only available through the school market by Scholastic. I can't, even knowing how important this knowledge is, see giving this to a young child. Maybe a teenager but even with this, I believe younger children still need to be shielded...while they can. I might hand this to my daughter as a teenager or older but not any younger and it depends on her maturity.
I was surprised to see one or two of the pictures in this also- shocking pictures that I've seen before, as an adult, and that I really don't know how I would have handled as a child.
The book is great for adults and maybe younger people alike- I found out a couple minor things I didn't know. I had no idea all Jewish women were given the middle name Sarah for instance. That's not all I learned.
It's important for this knowledge to be passed on. I think there is an age appropriateness that needs to be listened to here though.
