Amelia Bedelia is a book written by Peggy Parish, pictured by Fritz Siebel. It is an amusing story about Amelia Bedelia, a servant who works for Mr. and Mrs. Rogers for the first day. She did things on the list which Mrs. Rogers had written, but she misunderstood the meaning of some words. She changed towels, dressed the chicken, and so on. When Mr. and Mrs. Rogers came back, they were surprised. But they didn’t fire her because she cooked a delicious lemon-meringue pie to surprise Mr. and Mrs. Rogers.
My favorite part of this story is after Mr. and Mrs. Rogers came home, they were surprised about what Amelia Bedelia had done. They saw lighting bulbs hanged outside the house, towels were cut out funny patterns. Those scenes are really interesting.
Puns such as “trim”, “draw”, and “measure”, people sometimes misunderstand what they mean. And people are confused about these things, but after we understand what they really mean, we can just laugh about these, because they are experiences in our life, don’t they?
