Amelia Bedelia is a hilarious maid for the Rogers family, little do the Rogers know how literal she takes everything. When told to dress the turkey for dinner, Amelia creates an outfit to put on the turkey. A silly book that is guaranteed to create some laughs and a great way for students to learn about figurative language. Amelia can help teach kids about how hard some directions can be and how figurative language can be used for literary enjoyment. Great for many different figurative language such as idioms, figurative and literal language and even homophones at points throughout the book. Taking words to literally, Amelia Bedelia sure can turn any situation into confusion! What a great way to teach people, not just kids, just how confusing English can be with words that may be spelled the same but have different meanings in different contexts. These books ought to be on English reading lists for ALL ages! no reviews | add a review
