Amelia Bedelia is the BEST! 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

When I was a kid, I wore Merry Christmas Amelia Bedelia out! I probably couldn't tell you much about the plot, but anybody who's ever read an Amelia Bedelia book knows that it's all about her doing everything wrong! The only thing that sticks with me is the picture of Amelia stuffing the Christmas stockings with turkey stuffing, which to this day I find hilarious. I don't know what it is about this one particular story, maybe it's because it's the only Amelia Bedelia book I ever read, but I love it just the same. I my mind, it ranks up there with Charlotte's Web and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory; it's just one of those funny, timeless books that fed my lifelong passion for reading and writing.

My Review of Merry Christmas Amelia Bedelia 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I think that this is a good book for little kids. It is fun for them to read. When little kids read this they always laugh at how Amelia always makes mistakes. She always seems to do something wrong.

Editorial Review:

It's Christmas Eve, and Amelia Bedelia has to get the Rogers house ready for a visit from Aunt Myra. But with Amelia Bedelia in charge, this Christmas will be one of the funniest ever!

I bought this book for my nice and I read it to he and I enjoyed it myself! Is as funny as any other Amelia Bedelia book, and it even gives a general idea on what camping is all about!

so randomly funny 5 out of 5 stars.

So the rogers and amelia go on a camping trip but everything was a disaster! The sleeping 'bags' were paper bags, the tent steaks were tent-shaped steak slices, she 'pitched' the tent and other funny things.

who doesn't love Amelia Bedelia? 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I bought this before our family went on its first camping trip. Although I thought the authors could have found many more "gags" than they did, it was still pretty much classic Amelia Bedelia, who takes everything VERY literally, with funny results.

Editorial Review:

Camp Out

Amelia Bedelia has never been camping in the great outdoors before. She's trying her best to do exactly as she's told, but pitching a tent is not the same as throwing it into the bushes, and catching a fish with your bare hands isn't easy. As usual, the mixed-up housekeeper makes this camping trip one hugely entertaining adventure.

A classic children's book 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Amelia Bedelia is the cute story of a clumsy maid that forgets, and doesn't know the meaning of our everyday sayings like draw the drapes. It will make children laugh, even adults. It's a cute story of a silly lady that makes you want to keep reading, and makes you love Amelia!

Tiresome 2 out of 5 stars.

I really enjoy reading the majority of children's books to my kids. This series is tiresome: long stories, repetitive themes. It's not the worst series in the world, but I avoid reading it whenever possible.

Amelias Pie Saves The Day 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish is a great book for a first grader who just learned to read. If you're the type of kid who takes things way too seriously, like Amelia Bedelia, I recommend that you check out this book. In the book Amelia Bedelia is a maid who takes things too literally. The book keeps you wondering what hilarious mistake Amelia Bedelia will make next. She might not be the best made, but boy does she make a good lemon meringue pie!

Peggy Parish did an astonishing job on the writing. It's amazing how one simple instruction could be changed into one so totally different. On the other hand I didn't like how she made Amelia sound so utterly dimwitted. The illustrations were wonderful and very detailed. The facial expressions are tremendous; it's almost like you can see what the characters are thinking next.

The fact that Amelia says things like, "Now what" or, "Did you ever hear tell of such a silly thing" makes you crack up with laughter. It's actually her who makes the instructions so ridiculous. You can't help but love that adorable outfit she's wearing all the time. Even though I've always wondered what was inside that purse of hers. The story could have been better if it had more characters in it. I would give this book a 4 out of 5 star rating.

The setting of the book is in a huge mansion which includes a beautiful staircase and a somewhat discombobulated maid. The book has three main characters in it. Some of the characters are the lovable Amelia Bedelia and the reasonable Mr. and Mrs. Rogers. Another character which isn't so important is Mr. and Mrs. Rogers' dog. But the hero of the story is Amelia's lemon meringue pie.

How is desert the hero of the story you ask you'll just have to read and find out. If I were you I wouldn't be surprised at pastry being the hero of the story. This story consists of many wacky events such as airing out light bulbs and dressing up turkeys. Some other wacky events are when Amelia destroys Mrs. Rogers's best towels and almost fades out the furniture. The wackiest event of the story is when Amelia covers the antique furniture in make up powder or maybe when she almost burns the house down! I would definitely recommend this book to someone who likes to laugh out loud.

amelia bedelia is teaching a classroom but she does everything wrong but in such a funny way! Calling the roll, practicing a "play", "painting" pictures, planting "bulbs" and literally doing math problems with apples has never been funnier than in this book! Read it and you'll see why

Ohhh, Amelia Bedelia will teach you a thing or two! 5 out of 5 stars.

Amazing news! Amelia Bedelia has been mistaken as the new classroom teacher, and you just know she will take her duties very seriously. Look out! Amelia will follow every direction to the letter, and amaze every student with her interpretation of schoolwork.

There are lots of laughs here for young readers!

Recommended!

Oh no! Amelia Bedelia is a Teacher now. 5 out of 5 stars.

One day, while Amelia Bedelia, the housekeeper who literally takes everything literally, was cleaning, the phone rang. It was Mrs. Rogers, calling from the airport. She was supposed to meet the new teacher, but the plane was late. To further complicate matters the phone was out at the school. Mrs. Rogers wants Amelia to go by the school and tell them the teacher will not be there today. Amelia attempts to do just that, but the principal mistakes her for the new teacher and that's when all the fun starts. Amelia Bedelia teaching a classroom full of children, imagine that. Well, my almost three-year-old son Devon and I imagine it all the time.

Devon already knows his letters, upper and lower case. He knows they make words and he loves to sit while I read Amelia Bedelia stories to him. We've been doing it for over a year now. At first I made up the story line as his didn't have the attention span or the ability to understand. Now I've started reading, pointing to the words as I go along. Ms. Parish has written an excellent series for children and in this one, Lynn Sweat's illustrations set off Amelia's tales to a tee. If you want your toddler to read early, and I do, then this is a series for you.

Amelia Bedelia is helping out again. This time she's babysitting. But don't worry -- she's got a LIST! And you all know that if there's one thing Amelia Bedelia knows how to do, it's follow instructions -- to the tiniest detail, even if she's not quite right about what those details might mean.

Young readers will absolutely love the cute story and awesome illustrations that bring it all to life! Amelia Bedelia and the Baby is a book that families will adore.

Taking care of baby

Amelia Bedelia has her hands full when she takes care of Mrs. Lane's baby. As usual, the literal-minded housekeeper mixes things up, but she also wins the heart of her newest and youngest fan.

Great entertaining book! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This is a very funny book and is especially good to be read to toddlers. When Amelia is asked to stake the beans, she ties steak to them. When she's asked to make a tea cake, she makes one with tea in it. It offers a very good example of how what we say makes all the difference in the world, and whether or not what we are saying is what is being understood. When Amelia is asked to weed the garden, she thinks she's supposed to add more weeds, not "unweed it" as she states in the story. It's a little long - about 50 pages in my edition so it's a little much for a youngster to sit through but if they can do it like mine can, it is a great book to teach. I highly recommend this one.

My daughter and I have been enjoying Amelia Bedelia books for a long time. Even before my daughter was able to understand the puns, she knew something silly was going on. We have a whole collection of these books and enjoy reading them over again. If you like silly puns, you will love Amelia Bedelia and the clever writing of Peggy Parish.

This is a good resource to use for both content-area teachers and ELL teachers alike when introducing metaphors for the first time in elementary school. For ELL teachers, I think this book would be suitable for 3rd or 4th graders who have solid comprehension skills of basic idioms. It would be too hard for newcomers.

We Love You Amelia Bedelia! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is surly a kids favorite since I was a little girl! We join Amelia Bedelia as she starts her first day of work for the Rodgers. They rush off shortly after she arrives, but they've left her a list of things to do. Should be a snap, as all the tasks are simple and clearly stated...but that's what you think...Amelia Bedelia begins completing each chore in quite a literal fashion...drawing the drapes and much, much more! Younger kids (1-4) will like the silliness of it and beginner readers and more savvy grade schoolers (5-8) will like that's it's simple and clever/silly too! I recommend it without reservation! I'm sure Amelia will be with us, teaching fine lessons about the words we use and the many means they can have for generations to come!

Editorial Review:

Meet Amelia Bedelia, the unflappable maid who does everything literally. With her purse on her arm and hat firmly on her head, Amelia Bedelia follows instructions to a tee: change the towels? Nothing a pair of scissors can't do! Dust the furniture? That's when the perfumed dusting powder really comes in handy. Dress the chicken for dinner well, do you want a boy chicken or a girl chicken? Amelia Bedelia's well-meaning gaffs cause readers to chuckle, but her employer to fume it's a good thing she's such a good cook! \n

Amelia Bedelia is Job Hunting, Look Out! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

When Amelia Bedelia, the housekeeper who literally takes everything literally, brings Mrs. Rogers her cereal with coffee, the woman takes one look at those flakes floating around in her coffee cup and fires Amelia before she gets a chance to fill her creme puffs. Amelia, one who always sees the bright side of life, sets out to find a job. First she goes to work in a beauty shop, but when she's told to pin up a customer's hair and does it with pins from her purse, she is fired. Then she finds work in a dress shop as a seamstress, but she shortens all the dresses with a scissors and is fired. As a file clerk, she stamps on the letters with her feet when told to stamp them and files papers with a fingernail file when told to file them. And when she goes to work for a doctor, well, you'll just have to read this book to your child to find out what mischief she gets into there. Fortunately she makes a terrific cream puff, because when she remembers she forgot to fill them and goes by the Rogers', they hire her back, because those cream puffs are just oh so good.

My son Devon is fast approaching three. He knows his letters, upper and lower case. He knows they make words and he loves to sit while I read Amelia Bedelia stories to him. We've been doing it for over a year now. At first I made up the story line as his didn't have the attention span or the ability to understand. Now I've started reading, pointing to the words as I go along. Ms. Parish has written an excellent series for children and in this one, Wallace Tripps illustrations set off Amelia's tales to a tee. If you want your toddler to read early, and I do, then this is a series for you.

I use the book in my listening center. The students listen to the tape and read along in the book. It worked great. The students loved reading and looking at the pictures with the tape. Amelia Bedelia is a great book for any student, but I know my second graders love her. They think she is funny.
