I had completely forgotten that this book just sets up the two girls personalities and family life, and they don't meet (ala the cover) until page 128 out of 135 lol.

I admit I don't remember this book well but I remember staying up all night reading it and running to the library the next day for the rest of the series. I was 10 and thought I hated reading but I loved these books and they turned me on to a wonderful new world.

This was my favorite series when I was a kid. Probably one of the first chapter books I ever read. Such great memories <3

Peanut Butter and Jelly seem very sweet and a bit younger than 9 (it took halfway through the book to discover their ages. 😫) I wonder if the next Peanut Butter and Jelly is more interesting and funnier. There was one good thing about this prequel though:

pg. 4: yellow sweater, jeans, yellow head scarf, and 6 bangle bracelets (Ceci) [Ceci’s outfit reminds me of Claudia Kishi from The Baby-Sitters Club. I hope there’s more interesting outfits like that one.]

this book is about a young girl who doesnt understand anything about grownups or her older siblings. She also has to leave everything she knows and move to a new town. They even find a surprise along the way. Although this was a cute story i didnt feel like it went anywhere, the plot wasnt my favorite, and even though its a kids book i think they deserve to have something with a captivating story line.

buku yang cukup baik untuk dibaca oleh anak-anak.. dan saya memang masih anak-anak ketika membacanya. bercerita tentang pertemanan yang baru dibentuk antara Jill dan Peanut. well pertemanan tidak harus terjalin karena banyak persamaan kita tapi bagaimana kita mencoba memahami semua perbedaan yang ada.
