Review:This book is absolutely fantastic. It was my favorite as a young child and was the springboard launching me, a reluctant reader, into a love for books. I just purchased this to gift to my nephew but I stole a trip thru the pages another time and remembered why I loved this book so much. If you’ve never read this book give it a try! Read more

Review:This book is beautiful addition to any little girl's collection. I cannot wait to sit and read the stories and tell our own stories with my young daughter. She loves the movies and she will be thrilled by this book.

Review:I recently introduced my three year old grandson to this book. He loves it every bit as much as I always did. My mother read it to me. I loved it. My daughter loved it. The story is entrancing. There is something deeply resonant to the fantasy of the little girl who is allowed to do as she pleases in the absence of parents. Yet she is not alone and she is deeply loved by Nanny. The drawings are wonderful and intricate and prompted a wonderful half hour of exploring every little detail. Read more

Review:I expected a much better story line from a Little Blue Truck book. It is okay, still cute pictures and my son thinks it's alright. I love most of the other Little Blue Truck books and was disappointed in the creativity when I read this one. Read more

Review:"Emily's Quest" may be Montgomery's darkest book. Emily finds and loses love, becomes deathly ill, agrees to marry a man she doesn't love, and grows older both in years and in emotions. It's hard to believe that this is considered a children's book! Though when I was a young teen this was my least favorite of the series, as an adult I re-read the book and identified much more with Emily's troubles. There is no doubt that Montgomery knew and understood the anguish and pain in life because she... Read more
