cuando chica me hicieron leer solo la secuela así que esto completó algo que me quedó inconcluso en la infancia

This was so cute! I loved this one!

love it!

This was a super cute book actually!!! Amber Brown is an incredibly likeable and relatable character, and her emotional reactions to things are very natural, and I think elementary readers would enjoy her imagination and mannerisms very much.

As a grownup, it's easy to forget the difficulties of childhood, which are captured here: transitions as a third-grader.

Slightly dated, but a good realistic fiction choice for those needing a beginning chapter book. Most likely will appeal to girls more. This book deals with a friend moving away and the difficulty of your parents divorce.

This story is about a pair of best friends, and one of them is moving away. It is narrated by Amber Brown, a third grader. Amber and her best friend, Justin, have been best friends since pre-school, so the fact that Justin is moving to Alabama is very hard for Amber to deal with. Amber gets mad that Justin does not seem upset that he is moving, so they stop talking. At the very end they both apologize and go back to being best friends, looking forward to the summer when Amber and her mom can come visit Justin in Alabama.

This story is very cute, and there were several lines in it that talked about how children's thoughts and feelings were important, and I think that is a wonderful thing for a child to read.

This story could be used in a classroom to show the importance of friendship and making up after a fight, both apologizing and forgiving.
