This is a great series for a child learning to read. It is filled with mixups that will keep the teacher as well as the student entertained. The stories teach children about "play on words" as well as being able to accept mistakes (because we all make them). This is a great series!

The Amelia Bedelia stories are about a young woman who is hired to work for a wealthy family. Amelia is from the country and gets everything mixed up, almost all the time. Her two saving graces are that she is very kind and a fabulous cook. These simply written books (appropriate for a 7-9 age range) do not seem to provoke the sense of anxiety that many 'crazy mixed-up' books seem to. Best of all, of course, is Amelia Bedelia's name itself.

Peggy Parish's Amelia Bedelia series stands as a monument in children's literature --- not only for the young, but for the young at heart as well. Amelia Bedelia is one of the whackiest characters ever conceived ---she's constantly caught up in adventures (or shall we say misadventures) of the most humorous sort. If you love to laugh, I highly recommend these classic tales of mischief, laughter, and delight!

I always loved the stories of Amelia Bedelia as a child. Nothing could make me laugh more. I especially loved when she would try to do housework, and take things a little too literally!

I remember this book so well from kindergarden!!! I'm almost 18 now, but I still remember a few things from those Amelia Bedeilia books! (forgive me if my memories aren't exact,it's been amost 12 years since I've read one!):

-She stole the base, took it home, & brought it back with cookies!

-She was told to soe the seeds & she literally sewed them in the ground!

-When she was told to draw the drapes so the furniture won't fade, she actually drew them!! And she said you have to "undust the furniture!"

I also remember a girl in my class named Amelia & we all teased her by calling her "Amelia Bedelia", but it was out of love!

By the way, if you (or kids you know) love these books, go read "Eloise" & see the movies!! They're so adorable!!!!!!! <3
