Customer Reviews

Annie - a great story to share

I read this book to my class (7, 8 and 9 year olds) every year and the rave reviews that the children give tell me that this book is awesome. When I ask the children which book they would like to hear next, Annie is always mentioned! I was given this book (paperback version) as a gift from my grandmother 18 years ago and the book is till going!This story is excellent to uses for a visual comparison with the video. It makes children understand that there is a definite difference between watching the movie and reading the book. I know which is better and I am positive that the children know too!

Delightful!

ANNIE was a delightful story with sensitive and very real characters and an excellent story, not to mention how well written it was. I read it twice in one day!
