Customer Reviews

A lovely book
While this book was written quite a long time ago it is still a really good read. Pollyanna will make you smile at the simple sometimes childish way she has of being a perpetual optimist. I still love this book and after reading it I was genuinely surprised to find myself looking at things and finding something there to be 'glad' about.

Wonderful Christian classic
I assumed before reading this book recently that Pollyanna is a 'hopeless' optimist. Not at all. Her optimism springs from her Christian hope, and it changes many people's lives in the book. If you're a Christian and looking for a good book for your pre-teen/teen girl, this would be great.

Pollyanna's message is still relevant today
Whilst this story is from many years ago - the message is still important today. We should all be grateful or "glad" for what we have. Pleasant read with kind message relevant now. Easy read for adults and children.
