Amber Brown Is Not a Crayon

“Danziger reaches out to a younger audience in this funny, touching slice of third-grade live, told in the voice of a feisty, lovable heroine.” —School Library Journal, starred review

“Danziger [has] a pitch-perfect view of a child’s emotions.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“This heroine’s perky, first-person narrative allows readers to make her acquaintance immediately—and effortlessly.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Without a trace of condescension, Danziger gets the child’s funny and vulnerable voice. The third-grader’s friendship is beautifully drawn, especially the rituals about food, their shared enjoyment of the messy and the gross.” —Booklist
