These first few books are perfect for a very first introduction to Anne Shirley. Why not start them young, right? Here are a few extremely cute Anne of Green Gables board books.

This last book for particularly young children is a picture book called Goodnight Anne by Kallie George.

These next books are for children who are just starting to read proficiently, but aren’t yet able to read the original Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery.
