ARC copy...Did like the warm and whimsical-poetic sounding text especially when it comes to the infamous Anne moment. The illustrations are beautiful too.

After binging Anne with an E (on netflix) and re-reading Anne of Green Gables, this was the absolute perfect read! I adored the art work in the book and can’t wait to read the rest of the series! This is a perfect read for anyone who is a fan of Anne of Green Gables or any kids who want to start with a easy introduction into the fun and classic story! A delightful read with gorgeous artwork that captures the autumnal tone and adventures of Anne Shirley!

*Thank you Netgalley and Penguin Random House Canada for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

Things I liked: In this book in the series, I like how much George captures Anne’s zest. Her conflict with Gilbert, while succinct, is pretty well captured. I also like how we see the contrast in the teachers between Mr. Phillips and Miss Stacy. And again, beautiful illustrations, particularly the page of Anne and Diana walking through the woods in the fall to school.

Things I didn’t like: The developed relationship between Anne and Gilbert is put in here and happens so quickly but it’s hard to imagine where the real conflict was. I do realize how much these are very quick snapshots of the and story. But I am almost wondering if she should have waited to show the developed partner and becomes friends with Gilbert. I don’t know that that should’ve been in here.

As stated in my other reviews of this series, I still think these would be a great resource for a library. Every child finds something to love in a different way. And if this could spark a love and interest in Anne of Green Gables, then I would be perfectly happy to supply it.

As always, Kallie George and Abigail Halpin hit it out of the park with their third in the Anne series, "Anne's School Days."

The prose is approachable for early readers and the illustrations are gorgeously wall worthy. (Seriously. I want to buy extra copies just so I can hang pages up in my house.)

I cannot wait to add the hardcover to my Anne collection when it is released in June.

A Huge Thank You to Penguin Random House & NetGalley for this digital copy to read and review.

just read this in its entirety and it’s sooooo cute…. anne and gilbert i will love you forever!!

An early reader series about our friend, Ann-with-an-E? Sign me up!! I wish our library had these books by Kallie George because the illustrations are BEAUTIFUL.

Anne's School Days is fun because it's the story when Anne and Gilbert first meet -- the carrots/slate episode and the rescue scene when the boat sinks are included in this adorable book.

I want the whole series now!

(I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.)
