Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 3. The hilarious antics of a housekeeper whose literal interpretations of her list of chores lead to some extremely funny messes. The translator maintains the humor and the plays on words found in the original English text, thus making this Spanish rendition free flowing and amusing. It is worth mentioning that the simple narrative is accessible to beginning readers. The brightly colored cartoon artwork is integral to the presentation, as many of the jokes are played out in the pictures. Fun fare.?Ruth Dlugos, NYPL

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter loves it!, March 16, 2009

This review is from: Amelia Bedelia (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

My daughter, who is two and a half years old, just loves this book. If it is not on the table next to her bed to read it at night, she will go running looking for it... She listens to the whole story, and likes making comments over the pictures and the different situations that appear in the book. She is still too young to get all the comical situations, but she laughs a great deal anyway.
The text is simple and although it looks like a more complex book, I would say that it is at the same level as the first "Curious George" books. So if your child likes George, she will probably enjoy Amelia Bedelia as well.
The pictures are colorful and funny enough to capture the attention of a child. I also like this Spanish translation; it is clear and captures very well the double meaning of the situations in the book.
