Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish

Growing up I loved reading Amelia Bedelia books. When I saw this one in the library I knew I had to read it again. They made me laugh and realize that there are many different meanings to sentences, thoughts and words. These were my favorite parts about the book: dust the furniture, draw the drapes, and dress the turkey. First of all how can someone think of that? It is too funny!

I didn't remember how it ended but I thought Mr. and Mrs. Rogers were going to be really upset with what she did. They might have been but because she was trying her best, working hard and did a little something extra for them they forgave her and made sure to explain what they wanted done in a way that Amelia Bedelia could understand.
