A great degree of the appeal of Amelia’s Most Unforgettable Embarrassing Moments and the other Amelia books written by Marissa Moss is that the books themselves are designed to look as though they had been hand-written and illustrated by the title character in marble composition notebooks.
Marble composition notebooks are a universally-recognizable staple school supply in the United States but are difficult to find here in Hong Kong.
Luckily, we were able to lay our hands on a small number of the classic, black and white version and gifted them to one of our classes.
