Amelia Bedelia Makes a Friend: An Early Reading Book About Friendship and Humor for Kids (Ages 4–8) (I Can Read Level 1)

You’ve got to love a literal thinker! Leads to funny discussions with my kindergartners!

This is a cute and easy to read story.It teaches that change is not always bad and that we can have friends of all ages.

Cute book

This was purchased as a teacher's gift for a teacher who has a library in her own classroom. This lady loved books so much that I thought her first grade class would enjoy having this in their collection. I purchased a few, tied them together and she was so greatful, considering she bought most of the books she owns herself. It was a win-win. My daughter got to read more, and she saved money!I did ask her which books she did NOT have but wanted. I didn't want duplicates and wanted her to have stuff off her wishlist. :)

While it isn't like the classic Amelia Bedelia books, I liked it quite well. I hope the little ones do, too. I expect they will. I particularly like how Amelia Bedelia takes to her elderly neighbor. Our kids are so distanced from their grandparents, and it is important that they see good examples in literature, at the very least.

Amelia has a best friend living next door, but she moves. A new neighbor is a friendly grandmother. When her furniture is being moved into the house, Amelia imagines funny things based on pieces of furniture--like twins sleeping in a "twin bed" and a pool in a table for "pool table". The grandma has twin grandchildren so Amelia makes more friends rather than loosing friends as her old neighbor comes to visit them all. Cute story to read together, though a bit difficult for a very new reader.

Nice book

My four year old granddaughter loves this book. She loves to hear the story over and over. She is able to even read some parts of it. You can't go wrong with any of the Amelia Bedelia collection. As always, Amazon is the best place to shop for books, fabulous selection and A-1 customer service.
