I remember loving these as a kid and I loved them just as much listening to them now as my kids are enjoying them!

[Tara · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.

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, Meredith Moore, enjoyed these three books. Amber is definitely more angst-ridden than Judy Moody; I wonder if that's why I haven't seen her circulate as much?

I like this book a lot because is so good and I prefer for someone else to read this book because it is very interesting , funny and it inspirs me to find a friend and if I find a friend I will say it's not fun to fight with you and it says on the front of my book.

Enjoyable stories. Might be good to recommend to a child whose parents are going through a divorce.
The reader of the audio books was not very exciting though. This is one of the few cases where I would suggest reading over listening to an audio book.

Hularious!

[Kathryn · Rating 3 out of 5]

These are great stories, the lowered star rating is due to the narration. I agree with several other posters, the narrator has a dull and trailing voice. It detracts from the stories.
