Certainly Pollyanna has a reputation for being overly sweet and good, but it was a pleasure to read this book aloud to my children, who were deeply in need of an introduction to the glad game. There is a lot that went over their heads, and they were both very upset that Pollyanna's recovery had no explanation and very little time in the novel. Otherwise, we all enjoyed this story and it was a good bedtime book. ( )

A pequena cidade de beldingsville, no interior dos estados unidos, nunca mais seria a mesma depois da chegada de pollyanna, uma garotinha órfã de 11 anos que ficou ao cuidados da tia rica, a irritadiça e intransigente senhora polly harrington. Com sua extraordinária visão de mundo a encantadora menina conquista os habitantes da cidadezinha e ensina a todos o seu incrível "jogo de constante", um jogo capaz de transformar vidas e modificar destinos. Publicada como livro em 1913, a historia da alegre e corajosa menina se tornou um clássico da literatura infanto-juvenil e vem cativando diferentes gerações de leitores com sua poderosa mensagem de otimismo e superação das dificuldades. E impossível não se encantar por pollyanna, um exemplo inesquecível de amor, amizade e de como ver sempre o lado bom da vida.

Rebecca Burns does a fine job narrating this children's classic. Overall, I enjoyed it but the (overly) optimistic Pollyanna character is a little grating and to my mind, completely unrealistic. If you thought Louisa May Alcott's books were too sweet, don't read these! ( )

First published in 1913! One of Ms. Gregorich's all-time favorite books! Pollyanna has gotten a bad rap!
