(4) 4-6 Mary Engelbreit's Classic Library series. Each of these classic novels features a cover illustration by Mary Engelbreit (intrepid orphans Anne, Sara, and Mary all look pretty much the same, with different hair color) and is packaged with a gimmicky necklace. For libraries, the value of these unabridged hardcovers is the inexpensive price. Review covers these Mary Engelbreit's Classic Library titles: A Little Princess, The Secret Garden, Alice in Wonderland, and Anne of Green Gables.

(4) 4-6 Charming Classics series. Each of these "deluxe editions" of classic novels are packaged with a gimmicky necklace (thus the "charm" in the series title). For collections, the value of these unabridged hardcovers is the inexpensive price.

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Scott McKowen. Montgomery's precocious redhead is presented in an unabridged edition with a ribbon bookmark. Repeated scratchboard illustrations head each chapter, and fifteen unimaginative questions for discussion follow the last chapter.

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Laura Fernandez & Rick Jacobson. The full-page oil paintings sometimes appear stiff but add pictorial richness to this illustrated version. Each chapter opens with a letter decorated with Prince Edward Island wildflowers; small watercolor and ink drawings also appear scattered throughout the book. A foreword by one of Montgomery's grandchildren leads readers into the story.
