📚 Family read-aloud

Anne of Green Gables, one chapter at a time.

I'm reading L. M. Montgomery's classic aloud, a chapter per video — and Mr. B is drawing a coloring page for every chapter, so your kids can color while they listen.

Each chapter has its own coloring page. Print it before you press play.

Busy hands help little ears stay with a story — even a 20-minute chapter.

Talk about it

Every video ends with one question to chat about together as a family.

Is my child old enough?

Anne of Green Gables is a wonderful book for the whole family. The language is rich and a little old-fashioned, and younger children won't catch every word — that's okay. They'll catch the story, and the coloring page gives them something to hold on to. Older kids can follow along in their own copy.

About the book

Anne of Green Gables was written by L. M. Montgomery and first published in 1908. It follows Anne Shirley, a red-haired orphan with an enormous imagination, who is sent by mistake to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert — who had asked for a boy to help on their farm on Prince Edward Island. The book is in the public domain, and these readings use the original 1908 text.

Coloring pages drawn by Mr. B, read aloud by Mrs. A.
