Anna worked hard every day. She wanted a holiday so her family took her to the beach. Anna was happy, but not for long. Part of the PRACE Pageturners series 1 written for new readers. It is rated at a level one (of four).

"Anna spends most of her time cooking and cleaning and doing laundry. When she asks for a holiday, her family takes her to the beach, but it's not much of a holiday. She finally gets the rest she wants when she returns home. This is a great realistic story and very relevant to any woman with a family. The drawings are simple and cartoonish, with just the perfect amount of detail and humour. Women will shake their head in recognition at every page. As with all Page Turners titles, this book includes a list of words used in the text and exercises that would be great for small group or one-on-one discussions. The exercises are well written to encourage reading for context and detail. This is a real good one!" – September 2009 Exemplary Literacy Materials Online Reviews.
