Anne of Green Gables

I love reading ... I pretty much always have a book on the go and a pile on the bookshelf waiting their turn.  I can still remember the first novel I ever read.  It was Anne of Green Gables and was given to me by my Nanna who was always encouraging us to read.  I reckon I would have been 10 or 11.  After that, I then read all the rest of the books in the series.  As a teacher, I know how important it is to instil a love of books and reading into children.  I try and read a story to Lucy every night although that doesn't always happen!  Her favourite at the moment is The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

We were in a book shop the other day and I saw a copy of Anne of Green Gables.  It looked so pretty that I just had to buy it for Lucy ... although I think I may have to reread it myself first!  Hopefully when she is a bit older she will enjoy reading it as much as I did!
