Customer Reviews

Great-Aunt Myra is coming! Let's get ready for company!

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!

Yes, Really! Thank You, Amelia Bedelia!

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!!

Thank You, Amelia Bedelia

I use the book in my listening center. The students listen to the tape and read along in the book. It worked great. The students loved reading and looking at the pictures with the tape. Amelia Bedelia is a great book for any student, but I know my second graders love her. They think she is funny.

thank you amelia bedelia by peggy parish

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.

The book was very cool.

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.
