What a wonderfully written children’s book. It is simple in the telling as well as the artwork is visually appealing. It gives the reader (or listener) a tiny glimpse into the character of Anne of Green Gables. Great introduction for younger set to read before they graduate into the original book.
I received an advanced reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for my volunteer review.

If you loved Anne of Green Gables and you want your child to love her as well, this is the place to start. This whimsical children's book introduces us to Anne, Anne with an E.
The story is as delightful as the original. The pictures are gorgeous. I am not sure who with love this book more the child or the parent.
This would also make a perfect baby shower or birthday gift!
The publisher made this book available via Netgalley. The thoughts and opinions expressed here are my honest review.

Whimsical, charming story with lovely illustrations. I think the text could have been more developed but it is appropriate for the age range.

This sweet picture book certainly captures Anne of Green Gables spirit. Anne dreams of what she could be, but in the end decides that sometimes reality is better than fantasy. Great to read with 2-6 year olds.

In this beautiful book illustrated by Geneviève Godbout, we follow Anne, daydreaming about who she could be if she wasn't Anne with an e. Kallie George takes event from the original books to tell this story and I found myself smiling at the nice references. Children won't understand at the same level, but it's still poetic and the illustrations are amazing. Also, it's a good way for your kids to meet Anne for the first time and when they'll grow older they'll discover the novels!
I prefered this one to Goodnight, Anne, so if you liked the latter, you'll enjoy this one as well!

Thank you to NetGalley for an advance copy of this book.
As a lifetime fan of Anne of Green Gables, I will absolutely buy this book for myself. It's definitely a keepsake for kindred spirits. I would have a tough time encouraging young students to read it.

I absolutely love Anne of Green Gables, so I loved having this book to read to my young daughters. They are able to experience Anne at a young age and hopefully be influenced by her ambition and sense of adventure. The illustrations were adorable and the writing is splendid. I adore this children's book!

Super cute little story of Anne Shirley wondering what or who she would be if she wasn't herself. Would she be a wood nymph? A princess? A rose? Or what if she didn't have red hair?! That would be a horror in my opinion.
I loved the soft, almost dreamy looking artwork. In the end, I am so thankful Netgalley and Tundra Books gave me a copy of this book to review.

I really enjoyed this book. The illustrations were adorable and I really enjoyed the story. I feel like if a second grader read this book, they wouldn’t necessarily understand much about who Anne is but that might be the point . I loved reading Anne of Green Gables and watching Anne with an E so I understood all the references and thought the book was adorable.

This book brought me back to my love of Ann with an e and all of the wonderful memories with her. Gorgeous illustrations portrayed scenes from the book as the author took us down memory lane.

This is a very cute introduction to Anne of Green Gables. The illustrations were my favourite part, but I wish there had been a little bit more to the story.

A beautiful introduction to Anne of Green Gables! Soft, dreamy illustrations and poetic descriptions on every page. Parents who loved Anne with an E as kids will love sharing this with their children.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

From the team that brought us Goodnight, Anne comes this sweet little book that perfectly captures the spirit of Anne Shirley with evocative text and dreamy pictures.
Anne muses on what she would be if she weren't herself. For those familiar with the character, it's easy to see how her ideas are in perfect sync with Montgomery's original themes. Even Anne's dislike of her red hair is mentioned (although it's emphasized that red is far better than green, a nod to an incident in Anne of Green Gables).
The illustrations by Geneviève Godbout are soft and magical, yet somehow still manage to capture Anne's somewhat (often unintentionally) mischievous spirit. They're in the same style as those in Goodnight, Anne, and they're simply lovely.
I would definitely recommend this to fans of Anne, as well as to those looking for books about imagination and self-esteem.

ARC Copy...I would best describe the narrative as dreamy warm illustrations render with a soft touch alongside gentle gentle-warm prose/verse characteristic of George's writing style with a rambunctious-energetic protagonist with imaginative zeal and energy that the words may not be able to contain within. Good addition to the Green Gables library.

This is a lovely picture book of Anne with an E! If you like Green Gables I think you will like this book. Anne has dreams of what she could be if she couldn't be Anne with an E, but realizes that being herself is the best after all.

This is a beautifully illustrated picture book where Anne from Anne of Green Gables tells of what she would do in life if she weren't herself. Much of it is fantasy (a gull, the wind dancing on treetops, a lily maid, a tightrope walker...). The illustrations are whimsical and lovely. The text is sparse, making it a great bedtime book for those parents who must read a stack at bedtime (surely that's not just me?) and want enjoyable but brief ones in the pile some nights. :) This book will make a wonderful companion to the novel, but also stands on its own as a sweet little picture book.
I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

This was a cute read about Anne Shirley, and would make a good introduction to her character. The illustrations were beautiful, but there wasn’t much of a story, so this was just okay.

There is a special place in my heart for all things Anne. I'm in love with this book, this is such a cute and easy read and the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous.

As a long-time Anne lover, I knew I'd have to read this children's homage to one of the most beloved literary characters ever!
The book took elements from Anne of Green Gables and wove them into a beautiful poem that delighted this Anne fan. There have been many different Anne interpretations and some of them haven't been my cup-of-tea because I don't feel they hold true to who Anne really was.
But, this book was written how I imagine Anne would've spoken if L.M. Montgomery gave Anne license to write poetry for children in her books!
Not only was the story wonderful; but the illustrations were whimsical and sweet. I love how well the author and illustrator captured the spirit of Anne Shirley.

This book was delightful and perfectly captured the spirit of Anne Shirley. It reads more like a poem than an actual story, and for this reason I think it would appeal most to existing fans of Green Gables. The illustrations are soft and silly. Overall, this is a welcomed and charming addition to Anne's world.
