Publisher's Description of Anne Dreams: Inspired by Anne of Green Gables
The sixth and final book in an early illustrated chapter book series inspired by Anne of Green Gables, starring the spirited Anne Shirley as she pursues her dream of becoming a teacher.
Anne is starting to grow up, but she’s still disappointed with her red hair — it’s one of her lifelong sorrows. One day, she buys a bottle of hair dye in order to have raven black hair like her best friend and kindred spirit, Diana. Unfortunately, the dye ends up turning her hair green! This upset causes Anne to start focusing on improving herself inside, rather than her looks . . . and leads to a new dream taking shape: Anne wanting to become a teacher! She joins a club for students studying to get into Queen’s College. But can Anne overcome her fear of failing? And how can she study hard when pesky Gilbert is distracting her?
Anne
of Green Gables has been a long-time favorite for several generations. Anne
with an ‘e’ is an orphan who gets placed in the home of Marilla Cuthbert, who,
along with her brother Matthew needed a farm hand to help them and were
surprised to see that instead of a boy, they were mistakenly sent a girl. Anne
is no ordinary girl and seems to find catastrophe at every turn. You will be
laughing at the plights she finds herself in and will enjoy her “highfalutin
mumbo jumbo” style of talking. A lover of poetry, literature, and daydreaming
with a vivid imagination, Anne will keep you on your toes. This set of readers
is perfect for emerging readers. The illustrations are beautiful, and the words
are written with Anne’s style. The chapters are short and manageable and will
keep your reader engaged. Fun, wholesome reading that will be a keepsake for
years to come. Readers are sure to become kindred spirits with Anne! ~Amber
