A day of helpful misunderstandings

Amelia Bedelia Helps Out places its famously literal-minded housekeeper at neighbor Miss Emma’s home for a day of work. The humor grows from the gap between what Amelia Bedelia is asked to do and how she interprets the words, turning ordinary helping into comic confusion. As a Level 2 I Can Read title, the book is presented for children beginning to read independently while still benefiting from some support. Its premise links wordplay with an everyday setting and a simple helping-out task.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who are starting to read on their own
  • Young readers who enjoy humorous stories and wordplay
  • Adults seeking an early reader with a familiar recurring character

Book overview

Learn to read with the classic Amelia Bedelia!

Ever since Amelia Bedelia made her debut in 1963, young readers have been laughing out loud at the antics of this literal-minded but charming housekeeper.

A neighbor needs Amelia Bedelia's helping hands, so everyone's favorite housekeeper is off to Miss Emma's house for a day of work. It's a good thing Miss Emma likes to laugh, because Amelia Bedelia makes her usual merry mess! This Level 2 I Can Read is perfect for kids who read on their own but still need a little help.

"No child can resist Amelia [Bedelia] and her literal trips through the minefield of the English language--and no adult can fail to notice that she's usually right when she's wrong."--The New York Times Book Review
