Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert live at Green Gables on Prince Edward Island in Canada. As Matthew is getting older, he can’t keep up with the work required in maintaining Green Gables, so he and Marilla decide to adopt a boy from an orphanage to help Matthew. The boy arrives soon afterward, and the boy’s a girl! Anne Shirley. She has an imagination that surpasses all others, and she immediately falls in love with Green Gables. But Matthew and Marilla aren’t sure whether Anne can stay or not. Soon, of course, Anne succeeds in capturing their hearts with her well-meaning ways, and Matthew and Marilla couldn’t imagine life without her.
All the characters in this book are so vividly portrayed, that they seem to be almost alive, and no matter how different you may be from Anne, you’ll still be able to find something in common, and soon you’ll be sharing in all her ups and downs. This, of all books, truly fits the description “heartwarming.” It’s one of my favorites.

Bert Dow is a fisherman who lives with his sister, Lulu, along with his pet giggling gull. One day, he sails out to sea in the Tidely Idely to go fishing, along with the giggling gull, and hooks a whale tail! Adventures with whales follow.
This review may not sound interesting, but please read Burt Dow, Deep-Water Man! A good book, in my opinion.

Let me see, a book review that does this book justice? Practically impossible to write. Okay, how about partial justice? Sorry, can’t happen here. Alright, a review that hints in the barest possible way? I’ll have to stretch myself. In short, I can’t begin to describe how good this book is! The characters are so life-like and enjoyable.
This book is about a family. The father is away as a chaplain in the army, leaving the mother and four daughters, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, at home by themselves. Meg is the oldest, Jo is tomboy-ish and dreams of being a great author, Beth is sweet, and Amy is an artist. They have all sorts of adventures in a wonderfully simple (or incredible) way. Please read this book. I haven’t even begun to give a vague hint of how great it is!
I will warn you girls, however, be prepared to cry! There is a very sad part. However, the rest can be absolutely hilarious! I’m going to go read it again right now.

There’s a mouse in the Park Snoot Hotel! Everybody says there is no mouse, but manager Josh Posh calls in the professional mouse catchers Hyde and Snyde to make sure.
This is one of my absolute favorite picture books. It’s great fun to find the mouse on every page. Note to those reading out loud: This book is much more fun if a different voice is used for each character!
