Avis
Very funny, we almost cried in some parts! ? A great way to learn idioms.
Rating: 5It was amazing and fun to read the whole story and read all about it.
Rating: 5I absolutely loved this book! The illustrations were bright and colorful on the cover page including the new shiny bike that Ameila wants. The other illustrations throughout the story are in black and white. The writing is very humorous and keeps the reader engaged when reading. I used to read the shorter Amelia Bedelia books which I loved as a child, and found it funny when she misunderstood all of the sayings that she read. In this book, when the employee says that “it’s on the house”, Amelia really thinks that the item is on the house. The characters are well-developed and I think children can relate to Amelia when she asks her parents for a new bike. The big idea of this story is that if you put hard work into something, in the end you will most likely be satisfied!
Rating: 4I enjoyed this book for many different reasons. I loved the characters in the book because I felt that they were well-developed. This book does not only focus on Amelia Bedelia's silly personally, but it also enhances the personalities of her parents, classmates, and neighbors. In order to earn money to buy her bike, Amelia helps Pete at his diner. Throughout this portion of the book, I felt like I knew Pete just as well as I knew Amelia. Developing many different characters is great for children because they are able to understand that all personalities are different and everyone brings something to the table. Additionally, I also enjoyed the illustrations throughout the book. For example, when Amelia decorates her bike as a "giant lemon tart," in attempts to attract customers, the illustrations portray her work. In the photo it shows that her tires look like "giant lemon slices," her back holds a sign demanding, "try a bite!" and on the top of her helmet is a "papier-måche lemon." This is just one example out of many that the illustrations throughout the book represent the plot of the story. Lastly, the humor throughout the story is hilarious. Amelia takes everything literally that her family and friends say; this creates a funny story for children to be constantly entertained. Overall, the message of this book is when life gives you lemons, make lemonade (literally AND figuratively).

These chapter books are so much better than the picture books of the same name. Fun story lines. The literal Amelia Bedelia seems less forced in these chapter books. My daughter went on to read two more from the series after finishing this one.

Young Amelia Bedelia is happy with her own bike until she sees her classmate Kaite-Lynne cruise up on a sparkling new, green model. From that moment, Amelia's heart is set on a shiny new bike, but her parents say they will only "meet her halfway"; she must earn half of the money for the bike on her own. Hilarity ensues as the little girl -- age about 8 -- tries her hand at different jobs. As a helper in a diner, she lasts less than a day. She opens a lemonade stand with a sign declaring "Lots of Lemons" next to a car lot. But like the grown-up Amelia in the original early-reader books, young Amelia Bedelia bakes a mean lemon tart, and people can forgive a lot when lemon tarts are on the table.
Rating: 3Herman Parish, nephew of Peggy Parish (who created Amelia Bedelia), has taken over the reins of modernizing Amelia Bedelia into new chapter book format adventures. It was delightful to visit the still very literal young lady as she tries out jobs to help her pay for a new bicycle. This book is hilarious and completely ready to charm another generation of readers.
