Customer Reviews

I like Ann Likes Red, too!

Amazing. I don't know what possessed me to do a search for this title today--and I'm stunned (and thrilled) that anyone other than me even remembers it! This was the first book I remember reading, too, in kindergarten or first grade, and I can still recite it 35 years later. I well remember the excitement of the very first time I read it--what a sense of accomplishment! (I'm sure it's no coincidence that I went on to work in publishing . . .)

Ann Likes Red

This is one of the first books that I can remember owning and reading. In fact there are photos done (i.e. Sears like) of me when I was about 3 or 4 and the photographer posed me holding that book. I would love to find a copy of that book so that I might be able to read it to my daughter.

Ann Likes Red...My first book!

Has anyone been able to find this book? It was the first book my two sisters and I learned to read (all of us have a middle name that includes "Ann"). The repetition (Ann likes red. Red, red, red.) is excellent for early childhood learning. Why isn't this book still in print! Plus it is about a little girl who had her mind made up and wouldn't let anyone persuade her to change it--how's that for teaching little girls to have a mind of their own? My parents still have a beat-up copy, but we'd love to have one for our kids.

Priceless Memories!

I remember this book from 1st grade and how it was the first book I was able to read. Now my daughter is starting Kindergarten and I would love to find this book for her as a gift from me. I loved this book and I know she would too, especially since she also likes red. I hope I am able to find it even after all these years. P. Arcement, Jax FL

Ann Likes Red brings back memories.

Ann Likes Red was my sister's favorite book as a child. I read it to her so many times, I had it memorized. (Ann likes red; red, red, red). I look for it at old book sales and libraries. She just had her first daughter and I would love to find a copy as a gift.
