Amelia
Bedelia is staying with her grandparents.
Her grandmother decides to make an apple pie and sends Amelia and her
grandfather in search of Granny Smith.
In typical Amelia Bedelia fashion there are some misunderstandings along
the way. When Grandma makes her pie
Amelia makes a small one as well. It’s a
good thing too, because Grandma’s pie becomes food for the crows. There is a recipe for apple pie at the end of
the book.
I love
Amelia Bedelia. I have used the original
books to teach multiple meanings and idioms.
That being said, I do not enjoy the newer books by Herman Parish as
much. I feel like he tries too hard and
the misunderstandings are forced. I have
them in my library and we often compare the two authors and the books about
Amelia as a young girl are a way to introduce students to the other books.
