Amelia Bedelia Bakes Off

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. Amelia Bedelia is famous for her baking, but she has her own way of doing things. Lending a hand at the bakery and entering a cake-making contest could be a recipe for disaster!But with a pinch of sweet, a dab of silly, and a heaping helping of fun, Amelia Bedelia creates a cake like no other. "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
