Bravo, Amelia Bedelia! Book

Amelia Bedelia returns to play (havoc!) in the school orchestra's concert. She's just as happy with a flat bee as with a B flat. And if you need a wind instrument, what works better than an electric fan? Amelia Bedelia's legion of admirers are sure to applaud this virtuoso performance.

Children's Literature

This story will bring on giggles from the moment Amelia brings home a train conductor instead of the music conductor whom she was supposed to meet. When asked if she plays by ear, she rubs her ear across the strings of a violin. "Ouch!" Our favorite literal maid is certain that a wind instrument must be a "fan," while a string instrument must be a coil of rope. Musical mayhem never skips a beat in this fun-filled story. Even the conductor laughs at the conclusion when Amelia erupts on the stage with a "bang" by crashing into the bass drum.
