I remember being younger and this book being one of the very first "long books" I read. The illustrations are limited and I knew thats how I knew I was growing up as funny as that may sound.
I'll start off by explaining Amelia to you. She is queit a character. She has a job as a maid, and she works for this family named the Rogers. The reason why these books are so entertaining is because of one sole reason; Amelia takes everything to be a literal concept. When playing a game of baseball and told to run home, as in home base, she literally runs all the way back home to the Rogers' house. When told to make a sponge cake she uses an actual cake to mix the cake batter.
These books are for a wide variety of upper level readers. The double meaning of the words are what put all the humor into the series. Peggy Parish, the author of Amelia Bedelia, has a many more books that are somewhat of a continuation to the first Amelia Bedelia book in conjunction with her brother Herman Parish.
