When Amelia Bedelia and her niece, Effie Lou, arrive at Miss Emma's house, she has quite a list of chores for them to complete. After reading their list of duties, they set to work weeding the garden (after all, Miss Emma said to weed, not un-weed), staking the plants, throwing scraps to the chickens, and more. When Miss Emma's friends arrive, will Miss Emma be happy with Amelia Bedelia's work?
To present their excellent early reader books in an organized and graded way to young readers, the publisher has divided some of their popular children's books into different "I Can Read" levels, based on the structure and complexity of the content. Many of these are modern children's classics, and will be enjoyed by all children, whether read aloud or read alone. For your convenience in finding age-appropriate books for your young reader, we will list them in groups by level.
Amelia Bedelia is always ready to help out, and her cheerful disposition and eagerness to please help to counteract the fact that she takes everything literally. And somehow, she always saves the day, despite all the havoc she causes. Amelia Bedelia books have long been favorites of early readers, as it's great fun to see the results of someone actually following instructions like "dusting the furniture," "dressing the chickens," and "drawing the curtains" to the letter!
