American Girl Amelia's Notebook Find!

As you all know I love books, I am always on the lookout for new book series to read at my library! A few years ago I found a really cool book series called, Amelia's Notebook. The books are written in notebook form by a fictional character named Amelia. She writes about all kinds of things, from school to her older sister Cleo. The books used to be published by American Girl, but now they are published by another book company.

Amelia's Notebooks are written by Marissa Moss, and are filled with drawings and the words even look like real hand-writing!

I really liked the notebooks when I was younger and still like them now! So, when I was at an Anique Mall with my grandparents I was VERY suprised when I found (and bought)...

...An Amelia Carrying Case with lots of Amelia things inside!

The case is really big and has a handle so you can carry it places. :)

When you open up the carrying case it holds an Amelia doll! I was pretty excited when I opened it up at the Anique Mall. :)

Isn't Amelia cute? I think she is! She is about 10 inches and has medal wires in her hands and feet, so she is poseable! She is pretty small compared to my American Girl dolls.

Kit looks like a giant! hehe :)

In the carrying case right next to where the Amelia doll is, there is another comparment that has other Amelia items in it!

The other Amelia items included in the case were Markers, Stickers, My Notebook (a notebook that you can write in, with Amelia's help!), and a Friendship Frame. The "My Notebook" book is from 1997! The Carrying Case and other Amelia items were made by American Girl too!

This is what the pages look like in the "My Notebook". It looks like so much fun! :)

Here is the Friendship Frame! You can replace the pictures of Amelia and her friend Nadia, with a picture of you and your friend! :)

I thought all of this was so cool I had to share it with you all! Have you ever heard of the Amelia Notebooks? Have you read any of them? I would love to know! :)

Yeah, since I got a lot of AG magazines from Ebay and they are mostly older issues, they have Amelia stories in them. I also got some books from the library before.

I LOVE those books! They are really funny! That doll is cute, it reminds me of a Milly-Molly-Mandy doll that I got with a book, which now belongs to Kendal (girl bitty twin!)

[A.J.]

I used to read those! They are so cute, aren't they? They have Amelia videos, too, you know.

[Charlotte]

OMG I HAVE LOVED THEM FOR SOOOOO LONG!!!!!
I've read all the ones my public library, plus I own a couple :)

Ps. One of the ones I have is from AG.
Have you ever heard of the BackpackBooks from AG?
I have one (#11) called "Sip & Slurp"
I has a bunch of smoothies and Ice cream sundae recepies!
I love all the AG books!

[Joelle]

I've read them all, they're so cool and funny!! My Library carries them so I checked them out from there. I think I'll look for that kit somewhere ;)

[Anne]

Wow, what a great find, Liz! :)
I have heard of them before. I've read parts of it before. Some things in it are really funny! LOL The little Amelia doll is really cute!

[Madeline]

Oh, oh, Liz! I am jealous! In fact, I like, JUST got into the Amelia books like a month ago and couldn't let go of them since. I might even get an American Girl Doll JLY, cut her hair, and name her Amelia. In fact, I was getting on the computer now after finishing "Amelia hits the road" to go on the AG site to pick out a doll if I did do that. Then I decided to check your site.

Bye, everyone! I am going to look for this on Ebay! :)

I remember seeing the books in the 90's AG catalogs but have never read any of them. That's a great find though!

[katherine]

i have about 5 Amelia books. they are not my favorite but still cute to read and when i was younger and the Amelia stories were in the AG Magazine my best friend who did not like american girl that much would all ways barrow my magazine so she could read the Amelia story in it. i still like to get the books at Half Price Books when i find them
