5.0 out of 5 stars Funny Amelia Bedelia, August 24, 2005

Patty Apostolides "Author" (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Amelia Bedelia and the Baby (I Can Read Book 2) (Paperback)

This is a wonderful, entertaining book from the Amelia Bedelia series. I have read all of them to my four year old son, but this one is one of the best.

Amelia Bedelia has never babysat before, and takes everything literally when she reads from the list given to her by the baby's parent. Her limited interpretation of the list is hilarious, and kept my son laughing through the whole book. It is a wonderful story, and one that surely any parent would want to have in their home for their young child.

This review is from: Amelia Bedelia and the Baby (Paperback)

I received this book as a present in the second grade. I still remember laughing each night when I read it. Amelia Bedelia was always doing something funny. This was one of my favorites of the series.
