✰✰✰✰½ Fans of L. M. Montgomery's classic tale, Anne of Green Gables, will want to check out this colorful board book to share with their little ones. Each two-page spread is dedicated to a color representing a memorable scene from the classic. Who could forget when Gilbert pulled Anne's hair or when Anne and Diana first met? These scenes and more are lovingly recreated with fabric, thread, and embroidery floss.
The Bottom Line: This adorable board book is prefect for very beginning readers who are learning their colors. It's also a charming introduction to a classic tale. Highly recommended to read with little ones ages 2 - 3.
