A cute beginning chapter book for Anne fans. The art is very attractive and the events of the story are true to the origional.
I am sure many young readers will discover Anne through this series! ( )

I received a free advanced copy of this book from the LibraryThing Early Reviewers giveaway in exchange for an honest review.

A charming retelling of a memorial scene from L.M. Montgomery’s "Anne of Green Gables." This is the 4th in the early reader series and tells the story of when Anne holds a tea party where she accidentally gives her friend Diana currant wine. Diana of course gets drunk and her mother forbids her from seeing Anne again until Anne saves Diana’s sister from a horrible fever. It’s a very well done retelling and can be understood as a stand alone story. I would recommend young readers read the first few books in the series to better understand who the characters are, especially how Anne came to live with the Cuthberts. Overall, a great introduction to the well loved story of Anne Shirley. ( )

This is a beautiful adaptation of a much beloved Anne escapade, making it a perfect bedtime story. There is just enough 'background' added in for new readers to understand each character, but there is also just the right tone and knowing nods for longtime fans to smile at too. The friendship between the girls takes center stage with a warm glow of the family Anne is building at Green Gables as well. Each page is sweetly illustrated with soft, whimsical-woodsy scenes that hold even young listeners attentive. Though it is the 4th in this retelling series, each story may stand on its own. A lovely way to introduce this Canadian classic to young, new readers. ( )

This is a charmingly illustrated and delightful retelling of one of the more memorable events in "Anne of Green Gables": the tea party where Anne accidentally gets Diana Barrett drunk on currant wine. This is one book in a series and would be perfect for a younger reader not ready for the novel yet. It's more like a easy reader for a child in an older elementary grades. Adapting stories featuring a beloved character like Anne Shirley is not an easy task. Readers have strong feelings and opinions but I think the spirit of Anne and her world have been respectfully handled in this series.
