🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A beautiful book， perfect for the young or the old。 It’s only 30 pages long but it tells the heartfelt story of how the poppy came to symbolize everything Remembrance Day stands for。 Lest We Forget。

This is a great book to teach young and old about poppies and Remembrance Day。 Beautiful illustrations

Kait read this at school and she was so excited to see if borrowed it from the library。 We’ve read it quite a few times and she has tried reading it herself as well （it’s a bit hard for her， but doable。） Maddie was also interested， because they’d made poppies at school。

Ce livre explique pourquoi nous utilisons les coquelicots pour nous souvenir de tous les sacrifices des anciens combattants et de leurs familles。 En Amérique， nous voyons les coquelicots être utilisés de cette façon， mais l'histoire derrière cela ne nous est pas si familière。 C'était difficile pour moi de lire car mon français est mauvais mais j'ai beaucoup appris。 （La lecture de ce livre me rappelle que je parle «bébé français»， peut-être un vocabulaire de 8 à 12 mois sans mon dictionnaire。 XD） Ce livre explique pourquoi nous utilisons les coquelicots pour nous souvenir de tous les sacrifices des anciens combattants et de leurs familles。 En Amérique， nous voyons les coquelicots être utilisés de cette façon， mais l'histoire derrière cela ne nous est pas si familière。 C'était difficile pour moi de lire car mon français est mauvais mais j'ai beaucoup appris。 （La lecture de ce livre me rappelle que je parle «bébé français»， peut-être un vocabulaire de 8 à 12 mois sans mon dictionnaire。 XD）This book tells why we use poppies to remember all the sacrifices of veterans and their families。 In America， we see poppies being used this way， but the story behind it is not that familiar to us。 It was hard for me to read because my French is bad but I learned a lot。 （Reading this book reminds me that I speak "baby French，" maybe an 8 to 12 month old vocabulary without my dictionary。 XD） 。。。more

Not terrible but definitely not a "fun" book。 Read with PreK and they weren't super invested in it。 Might choose to read a "peace" book with them next time。 Not terrible but definitely not a "fun" book。 Read with PreK and they weren't super invested in it。 Might choose to read a "peace" book with them next time。 。。。more

An excellent entry point into the significance of Remembrance Day for all ages。

This book was an amazing read！ Definitely， for some people， a tear jerker。 A book for maybe ages 5+。 All about war， poppies， why we wear them and "In Flanders Fields" poem。 Definitely suggest this for a class read！ I enjoyed this book very much and have been reading it every year around Remeberence Day， since a couple years ago。 This book was an amazing read！ Definitely， for some people， a tear jerker。 A book for maybe ages 5+。 All about war， poppies， why we wear them and "In Flanders Fields" poem。 Definitely suggest this for a class read！ I enjoyed this book very much and have been reading it every year around Remeberence Day， since a couple years ago。 。。。more

At our Bookmobile， we waited a long time for a book on Remembrance Day for young children。 （One of our daycare teachers actually wrote and illustrated her own to use in her daycare。） This book is perfect for that。

3。5 stars

Annika ，

This book is a nice light read for kids with a good introduction to Remembrance day

Amy ，

This is a great book for preschoolers （ages 0-5） for Remembrance Day。 I believe it is important to share what Remembrance Day is all about but in an age appropriate manner; this book does this very well。

Amber ，

Part of our Remembrance Day reading。

Jen ，

The beauty of this book is in the simplicity of the text and the themes for primary-aged children。 The added notes at the end about the history of the use of the poppy and Remembrance Day in Canada make it a great read for slightly older students as well。 There is nothing ambiguous about the artwork， but it isn't graphic and is centered upon evoking nostalgia and sympathy。 The beauty of this book is in the simplicity of the text and the themes for primary-aged children。 The added notes at the end about the history of the use of the poppy and Remembrance Day in Canada make it a great read for slightly older students as well。 There is nothing ambiguous about the artwork， but it isn't graphic and is centered upon evoking nostalgia and sympathy。 。。。more

I think now more than ever before we need to remember those that have fought for our country so that we could have a better life。 It seems as the years pass， we find it easier to forget。 With fewer Veterans of World War I and II each year to remind us of their sacrifice， we only give lip service to their memory。 We may feel sad when we hear on the news that another Canadian peacekeeper has died serving his or her country but quickly forget as we continue on with our regular routine。 Remembrance I think now more than ever before we need to remember those that have fought for our country so that we could have a better life。 It seems as the years pass， we find it easier to forget。 With fewer Veterans of World War I and II each year to remind us of their sacrifice， we only give lip service to their memory。 We may feel sad when we hear on the news that another Canadian peacekeeper has died serving his or her country but quickly forget as we continue on with our regular routine。 Remembrance Day has just become another holiday。 A Poppy Is to Remember reminds the next generation about their Canadian past。 It tells the story of the Poppy and of the poem In Flanders Fields。 This Remembrance Day， learn the true meaning of the poppy and wear yours with pride。 。。。more
