Bravo, Amelia Bedelia!

Description

She's got the beat! Bravo for a funny Amelia Bedelia story. Even though Amelia Bedelia can't play a musical instrument, she plays a big part in the school concert. She is just as happy flattening a bee as playing a B flat, and her favorite wind instrument is a fan. But no one can beat Amelia Bedelia when it comes to making a drum roll-especially when she's inside the drum! As usual, Amelia Bedelia has gotten things all mixed up, leading to another silly adventure that will make kids giggle. Bravo, Amelia Bedelia! is a Level Two I Can Read book, geared for kids who read on their own but still need a little help. Whether shared at home or in a classroom, the engaging stories, longer sentences, and language play of Level Two books are proven to help kids take their next steps toward reading success.

Herman Parish was in the fourth grade when his aunt, Peggy Parish, created Amelia Bedelia, the literal-minded housekeeper. Peggy wrote twelve books in the series before she passed away in 1988. The interest of educators and the enthusiasm of young readers prompted Herman to continue the character in 1995 with his first book, Good Driving, Amelia Bedelia. Since then, Herman has added more than thirty books to the series. He has carried on her adventures as a housekeeper in books such as the best-selling Amelia Bedelia, Bookworm, and he has broken new ground in his most recent books portraying Amelia Bedelia as a young girl. She may be little, but she is as literal as ever. There are picture books for the youngest children, including the national bestsellers Amelia Bedelia's First Day of School and Amelia Bedelia's First Valentine. Young Amelia Bedelia also appears in I Can Read Level 1 beginning readers and a new series of chapter books, starting with the best-selling Amelia Bedelia Means Business and Amelia Bedelia Unleashed. Amelia Bedelia celebrated her 50th birthday in 2013, and she is still going strong.
