Summary: Perhaps The Best Maid A Family Could Have
Review: "Amelia Bedelia" has entertained children, and even adults, for many years. Its silliness and humor are as fresh now as it was back when first published. In this first book, which spurned numerous other "Amelia Bedelia" stories, we see that Amelia is a maid who goes to work for an upper class family. And no ordinary maid, mind you. She is a peculair and singular maid. She is given a list of chores to do while the homeonwers, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, go out. One chore she must do is "Put the lights out" when she is finished in the living room. To most other maids, perhaps, they would understand this chore to mean "turn off the lights". But not Amelia. She thinks the Rogers' want her take all the light bulbs out of the house to "air out". As a child, "Amelia Bedelia" continuously entertained me. And if it had not been for her lemon meringue pie, the Rogers' would have fired her for her incompetence. But with one bite, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers forgot about her mistakes, and kept her on permantently as their maid, leading to other delightful "Amelia bedelia" stories, and more silly mishaps and misunderstandings.

Summary: Amelia Bedelia
Review: Amelia Bedelia is a maid and she does every thing that some one says and she does it wrong.
When Amelia Bedelia was reading a list to do she did it wrong like when it said to take the light bulbs out and guess were she put them?
When Amelia Bedelia read to change the towels she just cut the towels to change the way the figure looked.I wonder if the people that lived there got mad?
Iliked this book because that was funny when Amelia Bedelia put the light bulb outside but on the paper it said to put the light bulb out and she probably said to put them outside.
Irecmmend this to some one who likes funny stories because this is a funny book that I enjoy.

Summary: Fun. Literally.
Review: Amelia Bedelia is starting her first day at her new job as a maid for the Rodgers. Since they can't be home, they've left a list of simple instructions for her to follow. Should be simple, right? After all, they only want her to draw the drapes, change the towels, and trim the fat on the meat.... These were a big hit in my family when I was growing up, mainly because we all had a literal minded sense of humor. I don't know where the author came up with all these ideas, but they are hilarious. Kids who are figuring out that we don't always mean literally what we say will enjoy these books. Grown ups will smile at how complicated our language can truly be sometimes. Either way, everyone in your family is sure to enjoy spending time around this maid.

Summary: Dated and dull
Review: Amelia Bedelia might have been fun in 1965 but the whole series is excruciating now. Your child only needs to read one of these books to get the whole Amelia deal - the other titles in this series are just more of the same.
There are many book series that kids can get nowadays - Junie B Jones, Horrible Harry and so on. They're much more interesting than Amelia.
I once read a review of Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat that described it as a 'karate chop on the weary little world of Dick, Jane and Spot.' It wasn't until my kids read Amelia Bedelia that I realised that examples of this weary little world were still being published. Long live the Seussian Revolution, I say.

Summary: funny
Review: Amelia is an idiot. She reads things or hears figures of speech and takes everything so literally that she ends up making a fool of her self. In result you learn nothing but you just learn to laugh and learn not to be like Amelia. Reading a book and laughing sometimes is all you need, so enjoy this book!

Summary: Amelia Bedelia literally does everything on her list of jobs
Review: Learning to read means learning new words and when you learn new words you need to learn what those new words mean and once you learn what words mean they should continue to mean what they mean because otherwise how would we talk to each other? Or, to quote Humpty Dumpty, "I mean what I say is not the same thing as I say what I mean." That is why "Amelia Bedelia" is such a great little story. Author Peggy Parish knows that words do not always mean what you think they should mean. So when Amelia Bedelia shows up for the first day of work and Mrs. Rogers gives her a list of things to do, Amelia Bedelia reads the list (after making a delicious lemon-meringue pie first) and does exactly what the list tells her to do. If the list says "Put the lights out when you finish in the living room," then Amedlia Bedelia carefully unscrew each light bulb and hangs them on the clothes line to air them out. Children and former children alike will laugh as Amedlia Bedlia literally goes through the list of instructions left by Mrs. Rogers. The illustrations by Fritz Siebel are almost as good as the pictures in our mind of Amelia Bedelia changing the towels in the green bathroom or dusting the furniture, plus Siebel gives the rosy-cheecked maid the same great smile on every single picture. Once you finish there book there are more literary adventures of the literal Amelia Bedelia and if you like these books then you should also check out "The King Who Rained" by Fred Gwynne and advance to the joy of homophones.

Summary: A totally AWESOME book!
Review: Many people do not know about or understand autism. But Amelia Bedelia is a prime example of someone with autism. When I try to explain to my daughter's friends and my friends what living with autism means, I recommend that they read one of these books. They are light-hearted and hilarious but yet represent autism in a very real way.

Summary: I learned to love reading with this book.
Review: My great aunt used to pick me up from Pre-school, and together we would read about Amelia Bedelia's adventures. We laughed until we cried in that old green rocking chair. Unto this day, we laugh and talk about the antics of Amelia Bedelia, and we recommend it to everyone, young and young-at-heart alike. Take it from a 21 year-old, you can't outgrow Amelia Bedelia.

Summary: kids love this silly book
Review: This humorous story about a literal-minded maid will make advanced beginning readers laugh as they learn about idioms. Kids love the goofy things that Amelia does. She is a nice person but, as our children say, not too bright.
