Amelia Bedelia
Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish
Genre: realistic fiction
Oh, Amelia Bedelia. You take things so literally, and I love that. In her first adventure, Amelia Bedelia bungles the tasks she's assigned for her first job by taking directions as literally as possible. She measures rice with measuring tape; she dusts the furniture by putting powder on everything; she dresses a chicken by making a tiny outfit for it. This book is a total delight for young readers learning about wordplay.
Lesson idea: With the students, think of some tasks that might have disasterous outcomes if taken literally--and describe how one might go about doing them, Amelia Bedelia-style!
