Ground Zero discusses the timeline of when the buildings were hit, the structural damage of the buildings, the rescue efforts, and the response of people from around the world. It does not go into detail about who the terrorists were, but this book was published only a year after. It also gives a timeline of the day and how the buildings were constructed to explain the damage. I think this is a good book to introduce students to what happened on 9/11 especially younger students. The book would be good for a history class. Students could read the book and then interview family or friends about that day. While this is a good book for an introduction of 9/11, I would have preferred a more updated book.… (meer)

This book is a great collection of information surrounding the terror attacks of September 11th 2001.

The one major flaw in this book is that it was written for the time immediately following the attacks. The book was published in 2002 so the context of Osama Bin Laden's actions and motivation is written in present tense instead of past tense. This can cause confusion for some readers since Osama Bin Laden death was reported in 2011.

I do praise this book for separating the Islamic faith as practiced by the majority of followers from the extreme interpretations of Islamic faith portrayed in media.

This book gives a great bio for Osama Bin Laden leading up to the attacks on September 11th and gives a manageable explanation for Bin Laden's motivation to attack the U.S.

Children need to learn about Osama Bin Laden and try to understand who he was, the things he did, and why he did them.

I like this book for the end of a 3rd grade year or into 4th grade and up.

Looking for a way to introduce 9-11 to children? This book would be a great way to introduce 9-11. This book provides details of the attack, with a time line of the events. This book also talks about the aftermath of the attack. This book provides additional resources at the back of the book.
