Dear Annieby Judith Caseley
Dear Annie is a wonderful story about the letters written between Annie and her grandfather. Judith Caseley tells this story in a interesting way as it goes from the letter the grandfather wrote the day Annie was born, to Annie dictating words to her mom as she writes the letter to Grandfather, all the way through watching Annie write her own letters. This story shows how valuable relationships can be even if it is not a face to face talking. The format for this picture book is also unique because it is mostly the text from the actual letters. Readers will enjoy reading the letter format and will learn how letters are written with the salutation and closing. The illustrations are rather simple and appear dated based upon the overall style as well as some of the color choices. Overall this book carries a joyful story in a uniquely written format that readers will enjoy.
Intended Age 5-8
