Praise

★ “The humor from the original novel is left intact. . . Amber Brown is most definitely not a crayon—as she tells classmates who tease her about her name—but her world tends to assume a stylized palette that sets the tone of each scene. . . A faithfully executed adaptation worth visiting for new and returning readers.” –Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Amber is a spirited, quirky, and charmingly relatable character, and Victoria Ying’s illustrations have brought those characteristics to life on every page, enhancing Paula Danziger’s signature humor. Paula would love this.” —Ann M. Martin, author of the Babysitters Club series
 
“No one is cuter, funnier and more trouble than Amber Brown in this graphic novel. I love her.” —Francine Pascal, author of the Sweet Valley Twins series 
 
“Funny and engaging, Amber Brown Is Not a Crayon is a charming take on a classic.” —Terri Libenson, creator of the NYT bestselling Emmie & Friends series
 
“Paula Danziger’s irrepressible, charming, hilarious and very messy third grader bursts with life in Victoria Ying’s winning and wonderful graphic novel adaptation.” —Brian Selznick, Caldecott Medal-winning author/illustrator of The Invention of Hugo Cabret
