I received a free copy of, Anne Dreams, by Kallie George, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I love the Anne of Green Gables series, I grew up watching the show on pbs. This book show Anne growing up, always her feisty self. I love Marilla and Matthew, they were definitely Anne;s people. I really enjoyed this book.

This short children's book starts with Anne upset because her dye job did not turn out the way she wanted it. She was teased about her hair color and wanted to change it. She then finds out she was accepted into a college for teachers. The short chapters highlight two stories from the original Anne of Green Gables. Children reading chapter books can read this by themselves or with a parent. While the author takes some liberties in recreating these stories, it was an enjoyable read. I would recommend this to any Anne of Green Gables fan and would like to introduce Anne to their young children.
Thank you, Tundra Books and NetGalley, for letting me review this book.

Anne Dreams is the sixth and final book in the illustrated Anne of Green Gables chapter book set. I truly love this series! Each book takes bite-sized pieces of Anne of Green Gables and adapts them with beautiful illustrations for the younger crowd. (But Anne lovers of all ages will adore these) The illustrations by Abigail Halpin are amazing and absolutely the right vibe for Anne of Green Gables! I don't always love adaptions of classic works for young readers, but Kallie George does a great job of keeping the heart of Anne while simplifying the language and lightening some of the tone for young readers. I would definitely recommend this series!

Thanks to NetGalley, Kallie George, and Tundra Book Group for the chance to read and review. My opinions are my own

Anne Dreams is the sweetest little introduction to a world so many of us love and cherish. It hits all the right notes, painting our dear Anne in her telltale whimsical and timeless way.

I'm a big Anne of Green Gables and Anne With an E fan, so this book was the perfect little read! This book contains beautiful illustrations and adapts the chapters where Anne dyes her hair, prepares for Queen's College, desires to become a teacher, and gets her puffed sleeve dress.
