This is most certainly a book not to be missed. Good Drriving, Amelia Bedelia is filled with tons of "Amelia-isms," her constant misinterpretations of the most ordinary things -- most outstandingly "fork in the road."The wonderful illustrations bring the story to life. It's wonderful. Wow. It's a road trip that sets the scene for this absolutely hilarious Amelia Bedelia novel that will keep her fans laughing 'till the last page.
She absolutely loves them. I ordered several Amelia Bedeelia books for my granddaughter for her 7th birthday.
It is Amelia Bedelia's birthday and she is going to go visit her cousin Alcolu. Rogers, and Amelia Bedelia says "Of course I have heard of cows." Once we get to cows we get around talking about a steer and horns, but then the pair are back on their way, looking for the fork in the road, trying to find a jack, and getting a toe. Rogers seems to keep forgetting what makes his housekeeper so unique, so he is not exactly showing a high learning curve either.
Of course, this turns out to be something of a mistake. So with all these puns this new adventure for Amelia Bedelia is really not in the true tradition of the series where the fun is always in how she takes comments literally, but it still has its moments and is charming in its own way. Actually, in this story, written by Peggy Parish's nephew Herman and illustrated by Lynn Sweat, there is more of a tendency to go with puns, especially once our heroine drives by a farm: "Herd of cows" says Mr.
Amelia Bedelia might never learn to not to take things literally, but then Mr. Rogers offers to let her drive the family car, but Amelia Bedelia has not driven in years so he decides to see if her driving is as good as the picture on her drivers license. Sweat, of course, provided the illustrations for some of Peggy Parish's Amelia Bedelia books such as "Merry Christmas, Amelia Bedelia" and "Amelia Bedelia Goes Camping," so for many young readers these will be familiar pictures.
In "Good Driving, Amelia Bedelia," things start off innocent enough. Mr.
Rogers allow her to use their car to get to her cousin's house. Soon their car gets a flat tire, but luckily a man in a towtruck happens to pass by and gives them a ride home where a party is waiting for Amelia.I think that this is a pretty good book because it is fun to see how Amelia Bedelia can mix up just about anything Mr. Friends of hers, Mr.
Along the way, Amelia keeps misinterpreting Mr. Rogers says to her but I didn't find anything really special about it. Rogers's directions, like pushing on the horn of a cow instead of honking the car horn and misinterpreting a fork in the road as an actual kitchen utensil lying in the road.
"Good Driving, Amelia Bedelia" is a story about a girl named Amelia Bedelia who wants to visit her cousin Alcolu so she can take a day off and rest on her birthday. Rogers takes Amelia out to make sure she still knows how to drive. The book is entirely for entertainment of how Amelia totally misinterprets everything around her.
and Mrs. But first Mr.
It also teaches that when you are drving or doing some other important task, you need to concentrate, and make sure you know what you are doing. I like this book because these are some things that people do tend to confuse in life.
This is a good childrens book on teaching responsibility and learning. IF you do not know how to drive, you should learn before you go on the road.
This book is one that shows how a lot of things can be muisunderstood. Rodgers took her driving.
I think many young kids will enjoy this book, escpecially when they are just learning how to read. It explains how people can screw up a direction, or just what someone si trying to tell them.
This book is full of surprises about what happened to Amelia Bedilia when Mr.
