Amber Brown Is Not a Crayon Audiobook

" Amber Brown is Not a Crayon" is one of the funniest books I have ever read and maybe it could be for you too. In the book, Justin and Amber were best friends. All of a sudden, Justin is moving away and they get in a fight. They figure out that getting in a fight over a silly little move is very silly indeed. "

" I would like to use this book in the classroom to do an art activity. I would have the students imagine a country they would travel to. The students would be given magazines to cut out pictures and words of what they think that country would be like. It would be like a page that goes into a scrapbook. This would tie into the story because Amber Brown and her best friend make a scrapbook when they get to China. This could also lead into a research assignment and writing a paper about the country the student chose. "

" i like to read these books because she is just so silly! "

" This is a melancholy story that pretty much had us in tears at the end. Amber is having a tough year. Her parents were fighting, then they got a divorce, then her Dad moved to France, and now her best friend is moving away. It's a rough couple of weeks as she sees the Daniels family packs up and prepares to move. We've read several of the shorter books in this series and now we're moving on to the chapter books. I really like them and I think they capture the feelings and emotions of children at that age. Our girls like them a lot too. "

" Read some of these books a while ago, but they are too easy now. "

" Loved the amber brown books as a kid ! "

" One of my favorite authors is Paula Danziger. One of the reasons I love her is because of the wonderful characters she creates and imagines...one of them being Amber Brown. Amber is so effervescent, vivacious, excited that she seems real as you read about her. "

" What I learned from this book was that Amber is sad that her best friend is moving away to a different country and Amber is sad. "

" One of my favorite series as a youngin :) "

" One of a series students wanted me to read this summer. Goofy and a play on words are fun for "around 2nd graders." "

" I loved this Amber Brown series when I was younger. These books are great for younger readers because they are a great start to chapter books and they are so funny! "

" in fifth grade, i made my family dress up as characters from this book for a photo book report. fun! "

" I read this with my daughter at bedtime over the course of a few nights last week. We both adore the character "Amber Brown" and I adore the heart with which this book exudes. "

" Amber Brown just found out that her best friend, Justin, is moving away. She gets in a big fight with him because she thinks he's not sad about leaving. They eventually talk it out and accept the new change. "

" Read during or after 2nd grade. "

" This was cute. Definitely not as annoying and un-grammatical as Junie B. Jones. And it dealt with a real situation some children face. I wonder if any of my friends ever felt like this when I was moving away. For it was me doing all of the moving, and not too often being the one who was left. "

" An oldie, but good for lovers of Ivy and Bean. "

" this bok is about amber and her bestfreind having a big fight because he has to move away "

" Great contemporary realistic fiction book about how to deal with a friend moving away. This also addresses the topic of bullying. For grades 2-4 reading level. I think many children could relate to the main characters actions and feelings. "

" This was an average book dealing with real-life situations. I would have it in my library. "

" This is a really good book, I feel really, really sorry for Amber sometimes. "

" Absolutely LOVED this book as a child, it has not lost its charm. Amber is so loveable, quirky and messy and so real that you feel that you know her. I enjoyed rereading it immensely "

" Not exactly the heir to Ramona Quimby, as sometimes Amber has real dark feelings inside, and sometimes she shares them. I don't clearly remember every story so I'm copying this review to each book. "

" I liked the story very much. The story was sad in its way, but I liked that the book kinda that even tough life doesn't always go the way you want, thats okay. (February 12, 2008) "

" This was the only Amber Brown book I have read in which I did not find her to be very annoying. Apparently third-grade Amber is more tolerable than fourth-grade Amber. Anyway, this book was pretty sweet and even a little sad at the end. A good easy read for primary grades. "

" this was one of my favorite books when i was little. I used to read it over and over again. I loved it!!! "

" The girls really liked these stories, and the stories were okay, but we listened to these in the car, and the reader really was not that great. She kept dropping the ends of sentences and sounded really whiny. "

" I read through all the Amber Brown books, and they're pretty cute and fun. They're all either 3 or 4 stars. Danziger does a great job making lovable, creative kids, and she writes to her audience. And the newer second grade Amber Brown books have great illustrations, too. "
