This is such a lovely version of the opening chapters of Anne of Green Gables rewritten to be accessible to a younger audience. The text keeps the basics of the original text in a way that makes it understandable for young readers without losing any of its charm. The illustrations are also gorgeous, and the balance between the amount of text per page and the pictures is spot on. This would be a great first chapter book for an early reader, as it has 8 chapters with about 5 pages of text each. I'll definitely be adding this to my sons' bookshelf, and will look out for more books by Kallie George that hopefully chronicle the rest of Anne's story in Green Gables.
