example of taking things that are said literally. Many children do that, as does Amelia. I think that this book shows that Amelia has good intentions and that she is trying to help, even though she keeps messing things up. It is a silly book that many students would enjoy as a free read.

Summary: This book is about a family who has an employee named Amelia Bedelia. One morning Amelia puts Mrs. Rogers coffee in her cereal because she takes everything people say literally. Mrs. Rogers gets mad and fires her. Amelia Bedelia goes around the town to find other jobs. The first one she

finds is a hair shop and by literally pinning a customers hair, she gets fired. The next job is at a dress shop. Amelia Bedelia cuts the bottoms off all the dresses and gets fired. Her third job is as a file clerk and she stamps letters by walking on them and files papers with a nail file. Her final job is at the doctors office where she carries patients around, wears the doctors gloves and tires to give the patient stitches. When she gets fired from that job, she goes back to the Rogers. Mrs. Rogers apologizes for getting so angry and hires Amelia Bedelia back to work for them.

Argument: This book is a great and silly way to show children about following directions. Amelia follows every direction given to her but does it in the literal way instead of what people actually mean. It takes something boring such as talking about directions and turns it funny. In Amelia Bedelia books, children are always wondering what silly things she is going to mess-up next. The message could be how important it is to tell someone exactly what you mean when giving them directions. Teaching children that different people don't always take the same message out of a set of directions is an important thing for them to learn. Another message could show the importance of following directions in general. Amelia Bedelia is also an extremely hard worker even though she doesn't necessarily always do her jobs the correct way. This is another aspect that is great for children to see the importance of handwork.
