Reviews for Amelia Bedelia Chapter Book #3
23 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I have always loved the Amelia Bedelia books for their humor and clever jokes that can typically be applicable to anyone's life. The language used by the author, as well as the development of the character Amelia, give readers a great sense of the type of mischief Amelia gets herself into throughout the book. The black and white doodles throughout the book serve as great assistants to supporting text and urges the reader to learn more. I especially liked the overall message the book suggests, that although some things may not go as planned, what's important is spending time with your family.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5“Amelia Bedilia Road Trip” teaches students many little lessons throughout the story. The story is meant to be a fun read for young children showing that you do not need to go on a grand vacation to have fun, but rather you can create your own adventures with your family that will have lasting memories. Although Amelia Bedilia and her family just randomly drove and got lost, they were able to meet new friends and have an amazing experience catching a huge fish. This story showed that creating your own adventures can be a lot more fun than planning vacations to far off places, and you do not even need to leave far from home to have fun. This story also teaches children to not take things literally. There are a lot of sayings that may sound like they mean one thing but they are just an expression that mean something else. One such saying was “Let’s go buy some staples” which actually means, “Let’s buy the basic items that we really need. Although that can be confusing to young children, including Amelia Bedilia, it teaches them in a fun way that some things are just expressions and should not be taken literally.

Amelia Bedelia Chapter Book #3 - Herman Parish
Amelia Bedelia’s father came home from work in a great mood. He kissed his wife. He scratched Amelia Bedelia’s dog, Finally, in her favorite spot (right behind the ears). Amelia Bedelia was lying on the rug next to Finally, doing her homework. Amelia Bedelia’s father knelt down next to her, but he didn’t kiss her on the head as usual. He started tickling her.
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
she squealed.
He tickled Amelia Bedelia’s most ticklish spot, right under her arms.
Stop it!
she shrieked, laughing louder.
But he kept right on tickling,
Mom! Help!
yelled Amelia Bedelia.
Her mother ran to her rescue. Amelia Bedelia’s mom began tickling her dad at his most ticklish spot, right under his chin.
He laughed and hollered, Family tickle contest!
With one hand still tickling Amelia Bedelia, he tickled his wife right behind her knee, which was her worst tickle spot. She began laughing uncontrollably. Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha . . .
They all collapsed in a heap on the living room floor, laughing and giggling and gasping for breath. Finally raced around them, barking and wagging her tail.
Amelia Bedelia’s dad stood up and helped her mom to her feet.
Well, honey,
said Amelia Bedelia’s mother. Thanks for the comic relief. That was a fun homecoming.
Guess what, guys?
he said. My boss gave me a bonus week of vacation for doing a good job at work.
Wow!
said Amelia Bedelia. Yay, Dad!
Congratulations,
said her mom. You certainly earned it. What would you like to do?
Well, I was thinking . . . ,
said her dad. How about we all go off to roam?
Yippee!
shouted Amelia Bedelia. We’re going to Rome!
Amelia Bedelia jumped up from the floor and kept jumping up and down, clapping her hands. She had paid enough attention in geography class to know that Rome was the biggest city in Italy, which was a country shaped like a boot. In Italy, everyone ate her favorite foods, like pasta and pizza and pastries, every single day.
Amelia Bedelia hugged her dad. Then she grabbed her mom’s hands and began dancing around the room with her.
Finally barked and barked.
Golly,
said her dad. "I didn’t think you would get that excited. Haven’t you ever been roamin’?"
How could I be Roman?
asked Amelia Bedelia. I was born in the United States of America.
Amelia Bedelia’s mother stopped dancing but held on to Amelia Bedelia’s hands. Sweetheart,
she said, where do you think we’re going?
She had a funny look on her face.
To Rome, in Italy,
said Amelia Bedelia.
Italy?
said her dad. We aren’t going to Rome, Italy. We’re going to roam . . . around.
Around?
asked Amelia Bedelia. Where’s around? Around where?
Around here,
said her dad. Close to home. For now, we’ll have to give Italy the boot.
Her dad chuckled as her mother groaned.
Amelia Bedelia was disappointed and her dad’s lame joke made her feel worse. She felt like giving him the boot.
Sorry to let you down, sweetie,
said Amelia Bedelia’s mom. "If we were going to Rome in Italy, I’d be
