Editorial Review:
Pollyanna's eternal optimism has made her one of the most beloved characters in American literature. First published in 1913, her story spawned the formation of "Glad" clubs all over the country, devoted to playing Pollyanna's famous game. Pollyanna has since sold over one million copies, been translated into several languages, and has become both a Broadway play and a Disney motion picture.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A classic, for a good reason.
My nine-year-old girl loves this book and I've enjoyed reading it with her. We all know people like those described in the book that are over-critical, grumpy about everthing, never satisfied or loners. Pollyanna applies her charm and glad-game to each of them and melts even the iciest personality. The vocabulary of older writing appropriately challanges a young reader. Short chapters make for easy stopping places when it's time for lights out.
Rating: - Classic Book
I think the Pollyanna novel is a book we should all read and learn from. Life is always hard, and we should be grateful for things that we have. Pollyana, a young girl who has just lost her father, does that in a soft way that encourages people to be glad, without completly condeming them for their bitterness. This "glad game" is not just for kids, its for adults as well.
Being thankful for the little things: family, freedom, and others is important, and we always take that for granted ... Read More

Rating: - A joy to revisit.
I grew up with Walt Disney's story of Pollyanna. I still have the LP record album of the movie soundtrack. But I was pleasantly surprised to read the original story and find such depth of character and meaning. I highly recommend this delightful book.
Rating: - A memorable cultural icon
This was part of my cultural icons search. I wanted to know what people meant when they called someone a 'Pollyanna.' I loved this hopeful, Christian character. She changed so many people's lives, and turned so many hearts just by thinking about things for which to be grateful. The book is much better than the Disney movie. I also loved Pollyanna Grows Up (Puffin Classics)
These books definitely belong among my 10 favorite children's books of all time.
