From the publisher

Learn to read with the classic Amelia Bedelia! Ever since Amelia Bedelia made her debut in 1963, young readers have been laughing out loud at the antics of this literal-minded but charming housekeeper. A neighbor needs Amelia Bedelia’s helping hands, so everyone’s favorite housekeeper is off to Miss Emma’s house for a day of work. It’s a good thing Miss Emma likes to laugh, because Amelia Bedelia makes her usual merry mess! This Level 2 I Can Read is perfect for kids who read on their own but still need a little help.No child can resist Amelia [Bedelia] and her literal trips through the minefield of the English language–and no adult can fail to notice that she’s usually right when she’s wrong.–The New York Times Book Review
