Review

This series of Amelia Bedelia books features a young Amelia Bedelia, and this Amelia is just as literal as the older one, leading to many funny and confusing moments! In this edition Amelia and her friends go on several adventures around the neighborhood - she freezes a gecko, a monkey from the zoo finds his way to their garage... These books are great for young readers just getting into chapter books, there is a familiar character, fun story line, lots of white space and illustrations. These books also do a great job of illustrating how using your imagination can lead to a lot of fun!

Overall Book Score: good
