In the 30-odd years since I read these, I did mix some of this up with Oh, Honestly Angela. I'd had it in my head that Angela mailed Stuffed Elephant off for their adopted underprivileged child, but nope--she actually mailed some money and a tax form to the IRS. Unfortunately, it was a tax form that her parents needed to mail in their taxes and this was 1989, so getting one and to the post office in time was actually a multi-hour effort. They were less than pleased, but it was pretty funny. She put her very best stickers on that IRS envelope!

My husband picked this up at a used book store for me, basically because it has my name on the cover.

Angela is a precocious younger sister who wants nothing more than to be a responsible citizen. She makes a goof of herself along the way.

Completely believable premise.

This is a short and sweet book. Its about a 7-year-old girl and her siblings. I liked it.

This was a random find at my library. It was a cute story, reminiscent of Beverly Cleary's Ramona series.
