Amelia and Friends: Global Adventures is a whimsical picture book with a marvelous invention by a young girl's father. Amelia was given a gift of her choice because she had worked hard in school. Her choice was not one fish but a whole aquarium full of fish! Amelia is a good pet owner who properly cares for her fish and tells the reader about each kind. When Amelia's dad is chosen to go around the world for his work and take his family with him, Amelia is excited but worries about her fish if she leaves them. Dad comes up with a fascinating solution to the problem. Matthew Kendal has composed a travel story with a fantastical twist. I was disappointed that the book did not relate anything about the travel destination, but it seems Kendal intends to write a children's global travel series. I hope he does because this book is fun, and Amelia is an interesting character.
