'Draw the Drapes, dress the chicken, dust the furniture...'" Theresa wrote: "…this is a great silly series to show children that mistakes and mix ups are possible if not probable, and that innocence may be more of the reason than meaning to do something wrong."

An adult that took everything literally, and messed things up all the time but somehow got away with it." Doe wrote: "Amelia Bedelia was the first book, in my memory, that made me laugh. Still have my worn out original." Gretchen wrote: "I can't remember when I read my first Amelia but I was hooked--I love to watch children as they come to see how words can be misused or misunderstood--these are great for teaching about humor."

Review # 2 was written on 2020-06-09 00:00:00 Martin Southworth This book is a realistic fictional contemporary story for primary level 2-3. This amusing story is of idioms when Amelia Bedelia miss interprets and mix up literal instruction provided by Mrs. Rogers. I have read this book to my 3rd grade students and they thought she was just a crazy maid, but overall they really enjoyed the book. It depicts how miscommunication followed by several mistakes, can be possible, yet it can be so innocent to do.
