About the book
Amelia Bedelia helps out by teaching a class but she takes the list of activities very literally. Planting bulbs becomes planting light bulbs. Practising a play becomes practising playing. Using apples to solve maths problems becomes finding apples and getting the children to try to take them away from each other. It's a story full of humour and mayhem and kids will enjoy laughing over Amelia Bedelia's mistakes.
