What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Amelia Bedelia makes her chapter book debut! In Amelia Bedelia Means Business, a New York Times bestseller and the first book in the new chapter book series, young Amelia Bedelia will do almost anything for a shiny new bicycle. Amelia Bedelia’s parents say they’ll split the cost of a new bike with her, and that means Amelia Bedelia needs to put the pedal to the metal and earn some dough! With Amelia Bedelia anything can happen, and it usually does. Short, fast-paced chapters, tons of friends, silly situations, and funny wordplay and misunderstandings make the Amelia Bedelia chapter books an ideal choice for readers of the Ivy and Bean, Magic Tree House, and Judy Moody books. Features black-and-white pictures by Lynne Avril on every page!Look out! Here comes Amelia Bedelia, and she means business! Sure to be favorites on the early chapter-book shelves.–School Library JournalSupports the Common Core State Standards

What Questions Should I Ask My Child

  • Amelia and her parents made a plan to accomplish Amelia's goal of getting a new bike. What did her plan include, and how might you make a plan to accomplish a goal you're interested in?
  • When Amelia was no longer allowed to sell lemonade, she had a lot of extra lemons leftover. How did she make the most of that situation?

    The humor in this book is loved more by kids than adults (as a heads up for if you're looking for a read-aloud you, as a parent, might be a part of), but this story also includes great problem solving skills, entrepreneurship, endurance, and working hard towards a goal.
