Reviews

[Emi えみ Takami 鷹見]

I really loved the illustrations!

[Debbie Dwyer]

Everyone should read Frozen Anna's best friends. It has magical powers and pretty photos. one reason you should read. One reason you should read this book is Anna's best friend is Olaf the snowman. He dreams of warmer weather. For example, they always play together and in the pictures they always stick together. Another reason to read this magical book is because Anna's friends make magical powers. They all love working together! For example, Anna's sister Elsa, makes magical stairs. Olaf the snowman makes rain. In my opinion you should read Frozen Anna's Best Friends because Olaf will keep his big smile on his face and say " Thank you!".

This book could be so much better if it explored the attributes of all Anna's friends: Olaf, Kristoff, Sven, Elsa. Instead, this is one of those books where the obligation to rhyme hurts the flow and the sense of the lines on each page. This book is perfect for a 2-year-old who loves the Frozen movies and won't care or notice if the scenes go out of order.

[Kylie Abecca]

The story doesn’t flow at all, it’s very choppy and bounces back and forth. As a reading exercise it’s okay and presents challenging words for the kids to sound out, but as a story it isn’t very well done.

[Carm]

We read this book through the library! Step into Reading are the perfect character books. They help encourage appropriate skills without being so long that it discourages reading because my 2 year old can't comprehend what is happening.

[Arwen]

A fun rhyming story that introduces you to the characters from the movie Frozen. This edition also included two pages of stickers.

[Melissa Namba]

a great book for early readers. I particularly like that it is fairly gender neutral, so little boys who love frozen can enjoy the book too.

[Kitty]

I'm not excited about any of these pop-culture early reading books, but this one was particularly meh.

[Melisa Hux]

Great book

Love Frozen...great for kids and adults alike. Perfect timing for upcoming movie and sequel in The fall. Highly recommend for kids.

Children are so enchanted by these characters.

[Kelly Chester]

Super cute book

[Michelle]

My 7 year old daughter was able to read this all by herself.

[Hezekiah Huang]

Can Anna be my future wife? 😍

[Daytona Smith]

cute

[Vanessa]

fun story about Anna and her friends with great pictures

[Jerry (Rebel With a Massive Media Library)]

Very nice illustrations; great for any young Frozen fans who are learning to read.

[Christopher]

I picked up this book as well as Tish Rabe's Big Snowman, Little Snowman because I love Frozen and was expecting original stories, but they are unfortunately not original; they are adaptations of the movie. Big Snowman, Little Snowman, as I mentioned in my review of it, offers a nonsensical plot because of how much it omits from the story, but Christy Webster's Anna's Best Friends is a little bit better in that regard because it isn't really an attempt to tell a story as much as it is an attempt to explain who Anna's closest friends are - Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven. It is, much like Big Snowman, Little Snowman, written at a very low reading level because it is intended for very young readers, so I can't really recommend it to adult Frozen fans like myself because it does not offer anything new.

[Tara Strosnider]

I love Frozen and this is so cute its about Anna and the book talks about friendship Anna and her best friends who are Olaf, Sven, Elsa, and Kristoff. The pictures in this book are adorable and it is great that is revolves around the theme of friendship because that is something that is very important for kids especially little kids to learn at such a young age the value and importance of friendship and how friends are a very good important thing to have for kids.

[Sarah A]

This is a nice early reader Frozen based book focusing on the aspects of friendship between the different characters in the Frozen movie. I like that it is all centered around Anna but also explores Kristoff's friendships and Elsa's too.
Nice and fun and all about Frozen - how could my daughter not like it!

[Rosa Cline]

This is a level 2 book but could very easily be a high end level 1 book. Each page has simple sentences on each page telling about each of Anna's friends from her sister Elsa, to Sven the reindeer, to Olaf the snowman and Kristoff. Illustrations are that from the movie so those children that love the movie won't be disappointed.

[Kim]

Almost every Frozen-related book I've flipped through has earned a rather large "meh" from me. But Mini-Me loves all things Frozen, and wants to hear this book over and over again, so it gets an extra star.

[Erin]

....Do you want to build a snowman? It doesn't have to be a snowman....

[kim]

sooo bad. no plot, just an attempt to use basic Frozen related sentences in a learning to read book.

[steven jacobson]

Awesome!

I really love this book because it is about my favorite characters. My favorite characters are Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf.

[Rebekah]

A nicer read for early readers with simple sentences and some rhyming.

[Holly]

Frozen: always a hit. Words she can recognize? Even better!

[Pinky]

Learn about Olaf, Sven, Kristoff, and Elsa. They are Anna's best friends.

[Karen]

Ellie bought this book with her Barnes and Noble gift card. She read the book to me which was so fun to cuddle up with my daughter and have her read.
