This book shows Anne growing up and becoming more comfortable in her own skin and she prepares to go to Queens College. This book was so cute and beautifully illustrated! I've always had a soft spot of Anne of Green Gables and I think this would be perfect for any fan!
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
Anne Dreams is the sixth novel in Kallie George’s adaptations of the Anne of Green Gables series. It is beautifully illustrated by Abigail Halton which blend beautifully with the story. This series is meant for earlier readers and younger audiences than the original series, and in this story, the focus is on Anne’s dreams. Although bits of the story are taken from more than one of the original novels, they fit together seamlessly into a story about how as you grow your dreams can grow too!
I hadn’t read the previous books in the series, but I will be looking for them, as I think they will be a wonderful introduction to the world of Anne Shirley for my 7 year old who isn’t quite ready for the bigger novels, but who I think will love the sweet stories and lovely pictures that I’m sure they contain if they are like Anne Dreams.
Overall a lovely short book for young readers that is sure to have a new audience interested in the wonderful stories of Anne of Green Gables!
I received this book from Tundra Books and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
This is such a wonderful conclusion to this collection of Anne adaptations for young readers. Kallie George spins all of the beauty of Montgomery's world into lovely smaller pieces for younger readers to engage with easily. It has all the charm of the original text, while being appropriate for growing readers. I loved the emphasis on the hopeful tone.
Such a cute abridged series! The illustrations are beautiful and I love this way of introducing children to Anne. I'm just confused as to why they are naming these books after the entire Anne series but the stories only come from the first book.
I loved Anne books when I was younger and this book just completely took me back! My daughter and I cherished our time together reading this beautiful story! Loved it
This is a beautiful book with lovely illustrations. A perfect present for a kindred spirit who loves Anne and is looking for new ways to be reaquainted with her. It's a short book and more of a memory lane type of book than for someone to be introduced to Anne. I recommend!
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.
