Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish

Amelia Bedelia is such an oldy, but a goody. It's a great book for entertaining your students, and having some laughter in the classroom. Amelia is such a silly person who mixes up words for different meanings and creates chaios in the home she is the maid for. This is a good read aloud book for younger kids, and a great beginners reading book for the upper grades. Vocabulary in the book is great for beginners. I think that it is also a good book for students to learn that it's ok to mess up, and mix certain meanings. People are forgiving just like the Rogers'. As a younger child I loved reading this book because it was so silly. I think it's a great book for younger readers. As a teacher I would read this book to my students maybe as a filler between lessons, or read it on a day when we are busy with everything else, and need a good, happy, break.
