Yes, we always enjoy Amelia's adventure's and in this volume, we find Mrs. Rodgers rushing about getting read for Great-Aunt Myra visit. As usual, she gives Amelia a list of things to do while she's out and about (make a jelly roll, strip the sheets, check Mr. Rodgers shirts) and off she goes fulfilling those requests in the absolutely literal way that only Amelia Bedelia can! Kids will be amused to no end as Amelia tries to roll jelly around on the counter and paints checks on Mr. Rodgers shirts...watch out for her spot removal...it's a doozy! Amelia Bedelia books are a fine way to introduce children to the concept that what we say isn't always EXACTLY what we mean! Great for read aloud stores for kids age 1-5 as well as a fine beginning reader book for ages 5-7. Kids of all ages will love the hilarity of how Amelia gets the job done! Another hit with my kids!!

Amelia Bedelia is the housekeeper for Mr. and Mrs. Rogers. (I would say she's probably about 18?) She takes everything literally; doesn't understand figures of speech. Because of this, she gets into some very interesting situations. But she does have an incredible talent: cooking, because she follows directions verbatim.

In this particular book, Great-Aunt Myra is coming to visit, so it is Amelia's job to get the house ready for her so that she will feel at home. Mrs. Rogers makes a list for Amelia to follow when getting the house ready. For example, Mrs. Rogers tells her to strip the sheets. Amelia literally strips them. Because of Amelia's literalness, will there be a disaster? Will Great-Aunt Myra really feel at home, or will Amelia really make a mess of things? I can't tell you - you have to read the book to find out!

I love Amelia Bedelia books. If you haven't been lucky enough to discover her, I recommend these books.

Amelia Bedelia is one of my favorite characters. Even though these are children's books, I find a bit of coziness in these books. I have loved Amelia Bedelia every since I discovered her (when my kids were little.)

I am a kinder and I read this book. Mrs. Rojers dress was spotid and Amelia Bedelia cut spots of the dress

We liked when she hung the beans.It made us laugh. We liked when she planted bulbs. It made us giggle.We like her books a lot.It was funny.

I am writing about the part where Amelia Bedelia threw the flowers all ove the room rather than putting them in the vases.

We think the book is very cool because she does a lot of funny things. One of the funny things is when she makes a jellyroll.One other funny thing is when she strings the beans.

Amelia bedelia is a very funny character when Mrs.Rogers told amelia to do something she would the opposite.I think that it is a great book and i think you should read this book to find out what Amelia does the opposite of what she is supposed to do.

We thought this book was funny because of the mistakes she made.These are the mistakes she made :Jelly ROLL,String Beans,Separate the Eggs,Match the vegetables,Stripe the Beds,Check the shirts and Change the towels.

Once again the maid takes things a bit too literal and makes a mess of normal affairs: stripping bed sheets, checking the dry-cleaning, removing spots on a dress, and scattering roses around the living room. Just what scale of a mess can she get into this time.

These books are funny, for me, and children love them. They should be at home sold by the box set!

Young readers will be hysterical with laughter over this wonderful adventure for our favorite young housekeeper, Amelia Bedelia -- who never seems to get directions quite right. Well, the truth is, Amelia does get them right, as long as you agree that making a jelly roll means rolling some jelly across the kitchen! And just imagine all the rest of the directions she has to follow with important company coming.

Peggy Parish is a wonderful author of children's literature, adored by greatly amused parents, as well!

Recommended!
