Amelia Bedelia begins a new job and is given a list of tasks to complete. She takes the tasks literally with humorous results. Her lemon meringue pie saves the day and her job!An I Can Read Book that deviates from the last two I have read. Here, there are no chapters dividing the action. However, the large text, spacing between lines/words, illustrations and list items break up the text so it is not overwhelming for a child. Amelia's literal translation of the text introduces some of the odd things about the English language but the words are not unheard of. It is likely children have heard this vocabulary before. It is written for level two readers in part because of the use of cursive words found on the list. I forgot how funny this book is - trimming a steak! It would definitely draw readers in.
