Bravo, Amelia Bedelia! (Amelia Bedelia, #14)

Gr. 1-3. Amelia Bedelia is supposed to assist at the school concert, but instead she turns the performance into a topsy-turvy event. In her usual zany fashion, Amelia Bedelia takes her orders literally and hilariously jumbles up everything she is asked to do. The situation gets off to a comical

start when she goes to the train station to pick up the orchestra conductor but returns with the train conductor. Humorous misunderstandings abound in this early chapter book that will tickle the funny bones of young readers.

It’s the day of the concert, and Amelia Bedelia seems to be messing everything up in the usual way. When she makes a big and rather amusing entrance into the concert, however, she manages to drum up a lot of enthusiasm for orchestra.

Amelia Bedelia wants to help Mrs. Rodgers with the school concert. Amelia ends up inside a drum. The new conductor cannot handle all Amelia's confussions. The conductor thinks that Amelia had ruined his show, but because of Amelia, everyone wants to be in the orchestra next year.

Amelia takes another literal sense on an orchestra concert.

Mrs. Rogers asks Amelia Bedelia to go to the station to pick up the conductor for the school concert. When Amelia Bedelia returns Mrs. Rogers was shocked to see she brought back the train conductor. Great to read in english when learning or reviewing homophones.

Amelia Bedelia is part of a band production with a visiting musician. I found the story not very interesting, but the 6-8 year old audience think she is quite funny.

I liked the book “Bravo, Amelia Bedilia!” by Herman Parish for two reasons. First the writing is very humorous for students, which makes it engaging for them to read. For example, when Amelia is supposed to go pick the musical conductor up at the train station she accidentally brings a train

conductor. “I did not mean a train conductor, said Mrs. Rogers. I mean a musical conductor.” Second, the pictures in each chapter help students visualize what they are reading. For example, when the conductor is saying bye and he needs to catch a train Amelia says be sure to use both hands, trains are heavy. While this is funny, the illustrations also allow students to realize what is happening in the story. The big idea in “Bravo, Amelia Bedilia!” is humor and music.

Another amazing book about Amelia Bedelia. This one although takes on a new setting, a concert hall. Amelia must take on a conductor, many instruments, and an orchestra, but can she? No she can't because she takes everything to literal, but in the end everyone enjoys the concert because of her

goofy antics.

Amelia Bedelia is always getting into something. She takes on a concert and makes it... interesting. Her problems is she takes instructions too literal. Mrs. Rodgers tells her to pick up the conductor and instead brings home the TRAIN conductor. The real conductor tells her to play a string

instrument, but she can not find a string, but a rope will suffice. This book is humorous and a quick, easy read. I would not do this as a read aloud, but definitely keep it in my classroom as an independent, fun read!
