A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Diana Coyle
It’s Valentine’s Day and Amelia Bedelia is very anxious to celebrate it with her family and her friends at school. She worked hard making Valentine’s card for everyone in her class and can’t wait to hand them out during the party her teacher is throwing the class tomorrow.
She’s excited when she wakes up on Valentine’s morning and hurries through her routine so she can get on the school bus and head to school. Right after lunch her teacher starts the Valentine party. Everyone hands out their Valentine cards, but poor Amelia realizes she left them on her school bus.
What is Amelia to do now? Does she come up with something else to give her friends?
I found this book to be quite adorable in how it was written by Herman Paris and illustrated by Lynne Avril. Amelia is a cute little girl who gets along well with everyone. Since I don’t have children, this was my first exposure to Amelia Bedelia and I absolutely love her to death. This is a perfect story to read to your child or even have them read it aloud during story time. Through Amelia’s actions she shows she has good values and was brought up well by her family. This is definitely a story you shouldn’t pass up for your child!
