It's Amber Brown's birthday and her friend Justin is running late as usual. The pictures are colorful and the story is an easy read for young readers. They will enjoy reading about Amber on their own.

Amber Brown turns 7 on July 7th and all she wants is a watch. The reason she wants the watch is because she believes it is time for her to act more grown up and not have to ask everyone what time it is. Her best friend Justin isn't like her though, Justin is never on time and it doesn't bother him.

On the day of Amber's party she finds out exactly why Justin was so late. He was making her a card for her birthday to give to her with the walkie talkie that he gave her. This is a good book to read to children who are learning to tell the time. Show Less

I don't think I like these early reader Amber Brown books as much as I like the chapter books, but we'll see. I think the richness of the characters is lost a bit - in the short books they seem to be more like stock figures.
