It's a Fair Day, Amber Brown - Softcover

Paula Danziger was born in Washington DC, because, her parents said, 'In that way no state could disown her'. A short while later the family moved to New Jersey where they remained, except for a brief time spent on a farm in Pennsylvania. Previously a teacher, Paula's first book, The Cat Ate My Gymsuit, was published in 1974. Since then she has written more than twenty books, including the bestselling Amber Brown series with Tony Ross. Paula lives in New York City, but spends a lot of time in London, when she isn't travelling the world. She likes reading, being with friends, shopping, playing pinball and putting stickers on everything.

As she walks downstairs touching each right heel to the stair back, Amber Brown predicts a perfect day. But when her favorite cereal box is empty, she's not too sure. She has been awaiting an outing to the fair and desperately wants her parents to be happy with each other and the event. Dana Lubotsky's narration is as concerned, childlike, and vivacious as Amber Brown herself. Her words stretch out as Amber anxiously watches her parents' conversations and actions. The moments of being lost (but then found) are worrisome to them all. When Amber thrills to her parents' smiles, so does Lubotsky.
