That's why I gifted a volume comprising of these stories to my daughter on her eighth birthday and Yes! she loved it. It feels so good to introduce literature to kids.
While I was browsing on the net, I read somewhere that you should not let your children read Amelia Bedelia's stories, it would make them dumb but I don't agree. Being simple and funny is not dumb and that too in a kids' book . What is more satisfying than kids understanding the simple stories and bursting into fits of laughter by simply reading about a simple and honest literal- minded housekeeper.
These are the five things that Amelia Bedelia
stories teach your kids:
- Housekeeper can be a protagonist too!Yes!!Not only princes, princesses and superheroes can be a main character of a play or story but every character belonging to real life can be a protagonist.
- Always remember to see the good side of others; sometimes only one quality of a person stands against all the weaknesses in his personality like Amelia Bedilia was too good at making pies and cupcakes and that quality stood against her habit of being too literal.
- Loyalty is one thing that always wins hearts like Amelia Bedilia was so loyal to her employers that she did as they said; the only flaw in her was that she took things too literally. Amelia Bedilia always keeps her promises. She is afterall one honest employee.
- Amelia Bedelia is so hardworking! She is always trying to make her employers happy by trying to accomplish her tasks in time.
- Amelia Bedilia teaches us to be happy no matter what happens and never loses hope!
