Amelia Bedelia was a maid in a family's home. One morning she was making cream puffs and when the wife came in and asked for breakfast. The woman thought the breakfast was terrible and told Amelia Bedelia she must go! So she started down the street. She first came to a beauty shop that was looking for help. She went in and started pinning up a customers hair. She was doing a horrible job and the beauty shop owner told her to leave. She continued down the road when she came to a dress shop that w More...

Loved these as a child, and still the different parts come to mind for no reason, like 'drawing the drapes,' and 'dusting the furniture.' So when I re-discovered them with my daughter, was delighted. Reading it as an adult though took a bit of the fun out for me.. as the cause for confusion is Amelia's Irishness apparently. Not so funny (for me) anymore.. I mean, sure, not taking things seriously is good, but still. Would love it if someone redid them, without that flavor, as it shows kids both More...

"What is this?"
"It is your cereal with coffee."
...and of course Amelia mixes the coffee IN the cereal. However, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers have had it with Amelia taking all of their instructions literally and fire her. Nonetheless, Amelia searches all over town at the beauty parlor, the dress shop, the office (where she was asked to file some papers and she actually took a nail file and filed the paper into shreds ...oh Amelia!), the doctor's office, etc. Yet, none of More...

When I was a little girl, I loved reading Amelia Bedelia books with my mother. We would laugh at all the silly things she would do such as literally changing the towels by cutting holes through them! She is really out there! It's a wonderful children's series that gives you a good laugh.

A an easy read for children in the second and third grade. Amelia Bedelia is in search of a new job but she has trouble following directions. This book can be used to show children the importance of thinking before you act and in following directions correctly.

This book is about Amelia Bedelia who is a maid for a family. She is fired then begins to walk down the street to find a new job. But with that comes a lot of bigger messes. I would let my students read this for fun and its a pretty easy read.

One of my favorite series as a child. Amelia Bedelia is a very funny character and keeps kids guessing as to what she'll do next. In this book, she gets fired and tries out a few new occupations. She ends up being missed and being asked to return.

I read Amelia Bedelia books when I was in third grade! They were really funny, I liked when she made cream puffs for Mrs. Rogers and stamped on the letters. Even though she takes things literally, I really, really like her. She's hilarious!

This book is okay. She gets fired for her job and she goes into town and tries different jobs. I'm not sure students would be interested in the plot. It maybe a little over their head.

these are surprisingly great first read books for kids--they are just funny enough to keep the child's interest while they are still struggling with every word they read

Oh, Amelia Bedelia! She joins a baseball team and with her own flair, messes things up in true Amelia Bedelia style. Of course, she saves the day with her cooking.

This is a very funny book. Amelia Bedelia cracks me up! I didn't read these books when I was younger and am glad to have discovered them. I enjoy reading this series with my daughter.

I loved loved loved Amelia Bedelia as a little girl, but I haven't read any AB books in a long, long time. Who doesn't love Amelia Bedelia? She is so happy and tries so hard and does everything she's told. Literally. Hilarious and endearing, Amelia Bedelia is fired from her housekeeping job and sets off to find other work. She finds lots of jobs but none that want to keep her. Amelia doesn't understand hwy--she does everything they ask her to. But maybe there is one job that's just about perfect More...
