Summary: Wonderful Book for All Ages!
Review: A touching account of the Romanovs as seen through the eyes of Anastasia. Though geared toward the younger reader, adults will also enjoy and be moved by the wonderful photographs and descriptions of the last Imperial family. A delightful book, yet tinged with saddness when one considers their final end. Still, I found it a must have book to add to my Romanov library. If you can find one, buy it! You will be delighted by its simplicity and intimate look into a world forever gone.

Summary: Fascinating, accurate, well-written...and kids love it!
Review: Beautifully and honestly presented, "Anastasia's Album" tells the story of the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nicolaievna Romanova. It offers a delightful glimpse of life in Imperial Russia, before and during its collapse, enhanced by photographs from the Romanov family albums and quotes from the family's letters and diaries. "Anastasia's Album" covers Anastasia's life from birth up to the family's imprisonment. It very tastefully tells of the family's tragic end and also has an epilogue that addresses the Anna Anderson controversy and subsequent films, setting the reader straight on the historical truth.
One of the greatest things about "Anastasia's Album" is how children absolutely love it! I teach elementary school, and the book has been a favorite among my students every year. It has turned several of my students on to history, and many of them did their own Russian history research after starting with "Anastasia's Album."
In all, this is a fantastic book, and Shelley Tanaka did the world a great service in writing it! "Anastasia's Album" should be in every school library and is a must-read for history buffs of all ages.

Summary: The life of a princess
Review: I know that this is a children's book, but I think it is also an interesting book for adults. It includes many photos of Anastasia's family. What I find is special about this book, is that it describes the world that the Tsar's children grew up in. The children had it all: their parents loved their five children, and Tsar Nicholas was able to give them all they wanted. Anastasia and her siblings were not confronted with the injustice that took place outside the palace walls. The revolution changed it all though, and it is sad to see the photos and read the story of how their lives ended.

Summary: Very Sweet
Review: I loved this book. I did wish it was longer, with more pictures.
Also more quotes from Anastasia herself, not just the author's
words.

Rating: 
Summary: Nice
Review: It's a nice book, with excerpts of letters, and many photographs; although geared towards children, I at sixteen found it adorable. Although when you look at it, it's sad--how an innocent girl, caught up in politics, was shot. It's a nice look into the "eyes" of Anastasia, and I bet 'Shvyzbik' would be pleased.
