review:
'Goodnight, Anne' written by Kallie George with illustrations by Genevieve Godbout is a bedtime storybook based on the book Anne of Green Gables. Younger readers may not be familiar with that book, but it still works as a gentle goodnight.

It's bedtime at Green Gables and Marilla is trying to get Anne Shirley to bed, but first Anne must say goodnight to the people and places she knows. So there are goodnights to Matthew and Diana. The snow queen and the Lake of Shining Waters are the fanciful things Anne Shirley likes. Marilla finally gets her to settle down, but not without a final goodnight from Anne.

The text is based on the first book, and readers familiar with the book will find a smile as they remember Matthew's kindness or Rachel Lynde's nosiness. The reason I chose to review this were the illustrations by Genevieve Godbout, who has become a favorite illustrator of mine over a short period of time. The illustrations are gentle and beautiful. I love the theme of butterflies that runs through the book, and I think Anne's spirit animal is a butterfly that flies erratically around.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Tundra Books, Penguin Random House Canada, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
