What a Trip, Amber Brown is an interesting read for children's picture book lovers.
I didn't fall in love with this story like I had hoped. The trip and camping adventure sounded exciting, but the plot and characters were all over the place. I didn't see the point of the plot, other than everyone went on a trip and Amber got upset with her friend. The moral of the story seemed kind of weird and I felt like the story didn't really come to a full stop. It just felt very random to me.
Overall, it's a fun picture book to read and dive into if you're looking for another story.
Two out of five stars.

Danziger is best known for a series of children's books about Amber Brown, including Amber Brown Is Not a Crayon, You Can't Eat Your show more Chicken Pox, Amber Brown, and Amber Brown Wants Extra Credit. Each of these books deals with a "crisis" in the life of young Amber Brown, such as her progressing to fourth grade.

Danziger has become popular in Britain where she was nominated for the British Book Award for Children.
