I gave this to my 6-year-old niece, as she embarked on a long road trip to her dad's for the holidays. It was a big hit - she giggled and listened eagerly for much of the trip, and never seemed to tire of Amelia's adventures. The narration is great, and the storytelling is a classic part of childhood literature.

I think this (and similar books on CD) are a great alternative to portable movies or video games. Stories are a great way to encourage imagination, and this is well done. My parents even enjoyed listening to portions as they drove, proving that Amelia can be fun for a whole family!

This CD makes great listening for my grandchildren, ages 9 and 7. They love the stores and can listen in the car or at home. I would recommend for anyone of any age. Amelia Bedelia has been a family favorite for our family for more that thirty years.

The funny stories of Amelia Bedelia are very popular in our home. Excellent and friendly reading voice, nice music. A classic!

We bought this for our 4-yr daugther's birthday. i'm a little confused because one of the first statements on the audio CD is "open your book to..."... our CD did not come with any books. I do think that would be a nice addition and am somewhat disappointed. We are still listening to the stories, so cannot comment fully on them yet.

Most kids love Amelia Bedelia, but I never did. Amelia Bedelia is an inept maid who takes every instruction literally. When her new employers, the Rodgers leave instructions for her to draw the drapes, she draws a picture of the curtains. When told to dress the turkey, she puts clothing on it. When told to change the towels, she cuts them into shreds. She should have been made to pay for the damage. Then there was that stupid stunt with the dusting powder.

Mrs. Rodgers was just as annoying. As she was chewing Amelia out for her ineptitude, Mr. Rodgers shoves a piece of pie in her mouth to shut her up. Naturally, the way to her heart is via her stomach, so once placated with food, the virago relents and keeps Amelia on. You can be sure Amelia baked plenty of those pies to keep her satisfied.
