Of course, this episode also covers springtime treats, the early 2000s American Girl website, and an Amelia quiz. In addition to a careful study of each beautifully illustrated notebook page, we also plunged back into some of the vintage Amelia material published in the American Girl magazine.
For this episode, we re-read Amelia's Notebook (1995) by Amelia (she's like Cher) and the one and only Marissa Moss. With her handy composition notebook, Amelia could keep track of the latest gossip, her family’s major move, and her growing interest in drawing noses. In the great tradition of people named Amelia, one diarist from the mid-1990s stands alone.
