Amelia Bedelia's boss gets fed up with the mistakes she has made and fires her. Amelia searches for work all over town, is hired on the spot then fired the same day, everywhere she goes. She eventually remembers that she has forgotten to fill the cream puffs she was making the morning she was fired and is re-hired because her longtime employers miss her.

I give this story four stars because it celebrates uniqueness. Sure, Amelia may mess up here and there, but she is kind, warm, and eager to help anyone she meets. The illustrations pair perfectly with the text, as the characters' horrified looks greatly convey the absurdity of the situation. Even though Amelia Bedelia continues to mess up, she does do her very best, which is what we should encourage young ones to do. Kids can have fun reading this humorous story and discover what makes them unique and different from others. ( )

Mrs. Rogers asks Amelia for some coffee with her cereal and Amelia believes she is listening when she pours the coffee in the cereal. Amelia keeps getting things mixed up wherever she goes!

This is so fun to read! It is wacky and great for kids!
