Amelia Bedelia believes she has been promoted to rocket scientist- just in time for the school science fair. She creates havoc, but inspires a scientist and wins everyone's favor with her chemistry- that is, her lemon merengue pie!

Misunderstandings abound in this tale of Amelia Bedelia at the science fair. I believe students will laugh out loud at the funny things Amelia thinks based on misunderstandings with words. All ends well when the mad (angry) scientist regains his wig and Amelia Bedelia the chemist (cook) produces a

lemon meringue pie.

I really enjoy the Amelia Bedelia books! I loved them as a kid and I still love them as an adult. This book is about Amelia helping kids out at their school science fair. As usual Amelia style, it's not as easy as that and she blunders in humorous ways. Great series for kids!

This story is about the classic housekeeper Amelia Bedelia. Amelia takes everything that is said literally. In this story, she goes to the school Science fair and helps judge. It would be fun book to read in a Science class.

Amelia goes to the science fair to help and only seems to cause trouble. Ranging from to much baking soda, the leaf blower, and making the scientist lose his hair, she is so upset. Amelia will never be a scientist, but to her surprise she is actually a chemist! Thanks to her baking skills she truly

is extraordinary.

Amelia Bedelia, Rocket Scientist? By Herman Parish and illustrated by Lynn Sweat is a fictional book about Amelia Bedelia going to a science fair. She gets into trouble with a vacuum, exploding volcano experiment and such. I think I would use this book as read aloud material during a quiet lunch

day. It has no scientific content besides being at a science fair. It would be a fun book to read aloud if a science fair was coming up and students were wondering what that is. Maybe it could set the tone for them to brainstorm what to do their project on or inspire them to simply be apart of it.
