The
Adventures of Amelia Bedelia
by Peggy Parish, and Fritz
Siebel (Illustrator). ISBN: 0064441555
From Amazon:
Amelia Bedelia is a housekeeper who takes her instructions quite
literally. Reading the list of chores that her employer has left her,
Amelia begins with "Dust the furniture." How odd, Amelia
thinks to herself. "At my house we undust the furniture."
Nonetheless, she dutifully locates the "Dusting Powder" in the
bathroom, and proceeds to sprinkle it all over the living-room furniture
and floor. Next she is asked to "Draw the drapes when the sun comes
in." So of course, Amelia sits down with a sketchpad and gives it
her best shot. Children love reading about the antics of silly Amelia
Bedelia for myriad reasons. It's an early reader book, so children in
primary grades can take satisfaction in reading the book on their own.
But, even more thrilling, children who are 6 and older can successfully
interpret the figurative meaning behind most adult idioms. Being told to
"keep an eye on the cat," for example, might compel some
preschoolers to stick their eyeballs on a cat's face, eliciting peals of
laughter from know-it-all grownups. But older children know better, and
they love the fact that they know better. Young readers will find this bumblingly charming, eager-to-please housekeeper as irresistible as
Amelia Bedelia's employers do. (Ages 6 and older) --Gail Hudson

surprised when Amelia Bedelia steals away in the bookmobile for a
bookstore visit. Can Amelia Bedelia explain that she was just trying to
go by the book? Or will she have the book thrown at her for this latest
misunderstanding?
