Angeline Jellybean is nicely handled by Crystalee Calderwood. Jellybeans are Angeline’s favorite food. The fact is, she doesn’t want to eat anything else! Crystalee takes us into Angeline’s world by allowing us to spend a year with her. We hear Angeline ask for jellybeans during the three big holidays on a kids calendar. She even asks for certain colors of jellybeans for different holidays! Does she ever get them?

Angeline’s mother constantly tries to get her daughter to eat healthy snacks like apples and oranges. Will she ever succeed?

One day, Angeline learns that there is a such thing as too much of a good thing. She gets her hands on a bag of jellybeans and eats the whole thing. Oh, does she get sick!

Will Angeline ever learn to eat snacks other than jellybeans? Will her mother ever get her to eat healthy snacks?

Stephen Macquignon illustrated Angeline Jellybean’s world perfectly! He illustrated it and colored it in the colors of…jellybeans!

I just added a review to a great children's book I just read. I do have a question about book reviews though. I read somewhere that reviews should have good opening hooks like stories do. Are my hooks good enough. I do agree. You do learn a lot by reading other authors!
