Publisher Description
Amelia Bedelia goes to school and mixes up just about everything in this bright and funny picture book about the childhood of the iconic character.
In the first book in the nationally bestselling series about the childhood of America's favorite literal-minded housekeeper, Amelia Bedelia is sure that she will absolutely love school—after all, what's not to love?
But after hopping on the bus "just like a bunny" (hurry up, sweetie!), confusing her name tag with a game (we are not playing tag), and gluing herself to her seat (oh, dear), Amelia Bedelia discovers that what she takes for granted is not always the way the world works. Still, friendships are formed, lessons are learned, and projects are completed, and through it all Amelia Bedelia's teacher, Mrs. Edwards, offers gentle guidance and an open heart.
The Amelia Bedelia books have sold more than 35 million copies!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
It's the first day of school for Amelia Bedelia the concrete-thinking heroine of the long-running series, which, until now, has featured the character as an adult. As in previous books, Amelia's literalism results in amusing misunderstandings: Amelia's "name tag" has her sprinting through the room "playing tag," and during "free time," she does as her teacher's idiom "Glue yourself to your seat" requests. Readers will giggle over Amelia's mishaps, and her genuine joie de vivre may assuage first-day fears. Ages 4 8.
