I like the book

This book is funny kids ages 6 and up will love it

abslotely charming

this book has to be the most charming and yet funiest book i have ever read! i will always remember this book, and it always makes me laugh so hard, because it is just like her to take the babysitting job the wron way, because she thinks everything for the baby is ment for her

Funny Amelia Bedelia

This is a wonderful, entertaining book from the Amelia Bedelia series. I have read all of them to my four year old son, but this one is one of the best. Amelia Bedelia has never babysat before, and takes everything literally when she reads from the list given to her by the baby's parent. Her limited interpretation of the list is hilarious, and kept my son laughing through the whole book. It is a wonderful story, and one that surely any parent would want to have in their home for their young child.

Grew up on these books

One of my fondest memories of childhood were the Amelia Bedelia books. The only one I remember was the Baby one, and while it's been many years since I last read it, I still have very colorful memories of it. I vividly remember a scene with the banana, and the tarts. I also remember something about chocolate salmon (she dipped salmon into chocolate), but I don't think it's in this book. I would love to read these books again, but I haven't found them anywhere.

Cute and humorous

I received this book as a present in the second grade. I still remember laughing each night when I read it. Amelia Bedelia was always doing something funny. This was one of my favorites of the series.
