*Amelia Bedelia* Book review 2-4


The book, Amelia Bedelia, was kind of funny book. Amelia Bedelia is nice person and was employed by Mr. and Mrs. Rogers as a homemaker. The first day when she started the working, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers had to go out so they made a list and it was written what she should do. Amelia Bedelia did seven things. One was a surprise of her for her folks and others were what the list says.

First, she made a lemon-meringue pie for her folks to surprise them. She went to the kitchen and did something to make the lemon-meringue pie.

Second, she saw the list, and the list says ‘Change the towels in the green bathroom’. The towels were still ok so she thought about it and started snipping the towels!

Third, the list says ‘Dust the furniture’ and she wondered why they want to dust the furniture because she had never done like that before. Then, she just found a big box with the words ‘Dusting Powder’ on it and she figured out. Yes, she dusted the furniture with the dusting powder.

Fourth, she drew the drapes on a paper when the sun is coming in because the list says ‘Draw the drapes when the sun comes in’ even she is not much of a hand at drawing. She tried hard.

Fifth, the list says ‘Put the lights out when you finish in the living room’ so she switched off the lights and carefully unscrewed each bulb. She thought the lights need to be aired out just like pillows and babies.

Sixth, the list says ‘Measure the cups of rice’. She found two cups and filled them with rice, and then, she piled those cups and measured the length. She poured the rice back into the container.

Next, she did really funny things. The list says ‘The meat market will deliver a steak and a chicken. Please trim the fat before you put the steak in the icebox. And please dress the chicken’. It meant cut the fat of the steak, and get ready to cook the chicken, but she misunderstood. She brought some lace and bits of ribbon. Then, she trimmed the steak and dressed the chicken as he could be like a boy.

Soon, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers came back to the home. They found all of her mistakes and Mrs. Rogers got mad at Amelia Bedelia. She tried to tell that she will fire but couldn’t do that because Mr. Rogers put something in her mouth. It was a lemon-meringue pie that she made for them and it was so good. They forgot to fire her because too delicious to say, and they want her to stay more and make lemon-meringue pie from now too. She made a lot of mistakes but she was fine because of her personality.
