If you love to doodle, and watch people, and think of funny little things to say--you will LOVE this book. I love to do all of those things, and I loved reading about Ellie McDoodle. Ellie is sent to stay with her cousins and her little brother for a week while her parents are out of town. She does not like her cousins and thinks this week is going to be a disaster--and to top it all off, they are going camping! Ellie keeps a little notebook where she records funny thoughts about things she sees and she draws little pictures to go along with her thoughts. Well writing things down about other people can sometimes get you in trouble, especially when your cousin Eric gets a hold of your notebook. Ellie has some great adventures, and you will feel like you're right there with her as you read this book! All the pictures and funny comments in the book make it quick to read and very enjoyable. There is even a special bonus section at the end where you can learn to draw like Ellie!
Happy doodling to you!
