Teach Us, Amelia Bedelia
Amelia Bedelia is at it again this time Mrs. Rogers asks her to go down to the school and tell them that the new teacher will be late. When she arrives the school mistakes her as the new teacher. She looks at the list of things to do and starts checking off the items in the complete wrong way of course. Simple things like "call roll" she yells a bread dinner roll. She ends up taking the kids home to her house and Mr. rogers comes home to see Amelia with the children literally counting apples for their math problems. The theme of this book I think is that unexpected outcomes can from situations. Amelia totally messed up there day at school and did everything on the list wrong but in the end the kids all had fun and the real teacher compliments her work and even invites her back. I give this book only two stars because in the end Amelia doesn't really accomplish anything except making sweet treats for everyone. I think this book should show kids that it is okay if you mess up that in the end things work out but this book just does not do that. I don't particularly enjoy these books and I think there are better ones out there with a similar message
