Amelia Bedelia Talks Turkey

My family finds Amelia Bedlia hilarious. I recommend these books to anyone. They are such a great conversation jumping off point. For example, you can discuss with your children what "all ears" means, or what "drawing the curtains" means. Because of these types of misunderstandings on Amelia Bedelia's part, there seems to be a lot of adult humor in them as well. In this one, it actually shows pictures of what Amelia Bedelia is thinking about. When a child says they will play a big role in the play, a little bubble pops up to show that Amelia Bedelia sees him as a bread roll.
