Learn to read with the classic Amelia Bedelia!
Ever since Amelia Bedelia made her debut in 1963, young readers have been laughing out loud at the antics of this literal-minded but charming housekeeper.
It's Christmas Eve, and Amelia Bedelia has to get the Rogers house ready for a visit from Aunt Myra. But with Amelia Bedelia in charge, this Christmas will be one of the funniest ever! This Level 2 I Can Read is perfect for kids who read on their own but still need a little help.
"No child can resist Amelia [Bedelia] and her literal trips through the minefield of the English language—and no adult can fail to notice that she's usually right when she's wrong."—The New York Times Book Review
From Publishers Weekly
Christmas here is merely an excuse for the titular heroine's usual misunderstandings. When told to make date cake, she cuts up a calendar and includes all the tiny squares in the recipe. "Children will love her endless antics," noted PW. Ages 6-8.
