and she forgave me. We both
speak our minds and should mind
what we say. So goodnight, Mrs.
Lynde, dear nosy neighbor.
And goodnight, Miss Stacy,
my splendid teacher.
(When she says my name,
I just know she's spelling it
with an e.)
If you are a fan of Anne of Green Gables, and you want to spark an interest in the younger generation, this perfectly beautiful book might be just the ticket to conversation and a peaceful night's slumber. It is magical, and is sure to find a place on the 'to-be- read every night' pile of bedtime books you want to share.
Anne's story has been read throughout the world, giving readers hours of pleasure in getting the know the feisty redhead from Prince Edward Island, adopted by Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert. Their life together is filled with characters to love or not, situations that help to make Anne the person she is meant to be, and Anne's often rebellious and challenging nature. She has a mind of her own, a real sense of adventure, and a way of tugging at heartstrings over and over again.
Kallie George includes just enough detail to give listeners a sense of Anne's story, and to encourage questions and discussion. Genevieve Gadbout's splendid illustrations enhance every single goodnight Anne shares with those she loves and the natural world for which she has such admiration. I love the many delicate details she infuses into every double page spread!
"Or would you rather live in a tree?
I do love trees.
A wild cherry would make
a wonderful bed."
