Description
Amelia Bedelia, the literal-minded maid, is mistaken for the new teacher at the elementary school. The pupils are in hysterics as she calls the roll by yelling at a roll, plants bulbs by putting light bulbs into dirt, and gives highly creative math lessons involving the whole class and a whole lot of apples. The students never had a teacher like Amelia Bedelia before!

In this "I Can Read, Level 2" adventure the well-meaning but confused and literal Ameila Bedelia is mistaken for a substitute teacher. At school, she follows Miss Lane's list: calls (a) roll, plants (light) bulbs with the children, leads a foot race, and creates a harum-scarum scramble over "take away," in this case, apples they have picked at Mrs. Rogers' house, where she has also made taffy apples. They, of course, save the day when the Rogers arrive home with the new teacher. Children can enjoy the book and the character their parents loved when they were in
