Amelia Bedelia is a special character from my childhood! Her hilariously literal translation of everything was adored by my family when my siblings and I were young and still is to this day. From her adventures in teaching to her “dressing the turkey” mishap, Amelia Bedelia never ceases to entertain! If you have never experienced an Amelia Bedelia book, this month is your month to do so! As kids return to school, this month’s book, Teach Us, Amelia Bedelia, might be a great way to get them in the mood!

Review
Teach Us, Amelia Bedelia tells the story of Amelia Bedelia’s stint as a substitute teacher. When she is roped into teaching at the local school, Amelia Bedelia must complete a list of tasks with the children that cover everything from roll calls to story problems. Her tendency to translate everything literally makes for some fun entertainment and learning for the children as Amelia Bedelia leads them through a checklist of things they need to complete.
Teach Us, Amelia Bedelia is one of many Amelia Bedelia books I read regularly while developing my reading skills as a child. My favorite parts of this book are when the list instructs her to help each child “plant a bulb” and when she adds a little interactive play into a math problem! I always loved the math problem one because learning math her way seemed so much more fun than learning it from a book! Without a doubt, I give this book five stars!
Let’s see what some families thought!
