amelia bedelia is teaching a classroom but she does everything wrong but in such a funny way! Calling the roll, practicing a "play", "painting" pictures, planting "bulbs" and literally doing math problems with apples has never been funnier than in this book! Read it and you'll see why

There is something about Amelia Bedelia that captures the attention of children, my 7 year old son can't get enough of her. If you want your child to discover the joys of laughter and fun in a book then you have to buy this!

I have found that my students have really enjoyed me reading aloud all of the Amelia Bedella books. They love how Amelia just literally does what Mr. & Mrs. Rogers say.

During the reading of this book the fourth graders were just loving it.

Way to go Peggy Parish!

Amazing news! Amelia Bedelia has been mistaken as the new classroom teacher, and you just know she will take her duties very seriously. Look out! Amelia will follow every direction to the letter, and amaze every student with her interpretation of schoolwork.

There are lots of laughs here for young readers!

One day, while Amelia Bedelia, the housekeeper who literally takes everything literally, was cleaning, the phone rang. It was Mrs. Rogers, calling from the airport. She was supposed to meet the new teacher, but the plane was late. To further complicate matters the phone was out at the school. Mrs. Rogers wants Amelia to go by the school and tell them the teacher will not be there today. Amelia attempts to do just that, but the principal mistakes her for the new teacher and that's when all the fun starts. Amelia Bedelia teaching a classroom full of children, imagine that. Well, my almost three-year-old son Devon and I imagine it all the time.

Devon already knows his letters, upper and lower case. He knows they make words and he loves to sit while I read Amelia Bedelia stories to him. We've been doing it for over a year now. At first I made up the story line as his didn't have the attention span or the ability to understand. Now I've started reading, pointing to the words as I go along. Ms. Parish has written an excellent series for children and in this one, Lynn Sweat's illustrations set off Amelia's tales to a tee. If you want your toddler to read early, and I do, then this is a series for you.

My g-kids and I love the Amella Bedella series.. Not only because we are around lots of people who speak English as a second language.. But these books are funny and make them think.. These books teach how to use our language can be misunderstood, and that we should always say what we mean not assume that the other one will automatically understand what we mean.. They are fun books..

As an educator this special Amelia Bedelia book, "Teach Us", has a special place in my heart and actually it is quite like how education should be: well?. She gets down to the students level and gets into their hearts and minds. Perhaps constructivism taken to the extremes: destructivism.

Really - it is a story for the children, a fun story. It just happen to enjoy it as well :)

Brilliant story once again from Peggy Parish

A fun book, my daughter loves Amelia Bedalia. As we live in Spain and she only hears English from me, it's a great way for her to learn the double meanings of many words.

I volunteer each week to read to the kindergarten, first and second graders at our local school. I read this one to the first and second graders this past week and the children were literally laughing out loud! What fun!!

They thoroughly enjoy all the adventures of Amelia Bedelia...but especially this one!

How can anyone not love Amelia Bedelia? The entire series is great and kids love the humor involved.
