REVIEWS
From School Library Journal
Gr 3-5-Amelia is back with another black-and-white marbleized
notebook, this one filled with 51 things to do when bored.
Making up jump-rope songs, listing good and gross foods, eye
tricks, and creating certificates for family and friends are
just a few of the activities suggested. Like the other "Amelia"
titles (Tricycle), every lined, hand-written page is illustrated
with full-color childlike drawings. The result is lots of humor,
both visual and verbal, that will appeal to even the most
reluctant of readers. But best of all, this young writer
encourages others to create their own notebooks filled with
suggestions for fighting the doldrums. Not a bad idea at all.
