1-3Amelia Bedelia Chapter Books series.
Illustrated by
Lynne Avril.
These first two illustrated chapter books featuring a young Amelia Bedelia give readers a glimpse of the beloved character as a child. Wanting a bicycle, Amelia undertakes unsuccessful but mildly humorous moneymaking schemes (Business) and then meticulously chooses a new puppy (Unleashed). Amelia's childhood blunders are less endearing than her originals--in part because her parents are involved but make no effort to guide her. Review covers these Amelia Bedelia Chapter Book titles: Amelia Bedelia Means Business and Amelia Bedelia Unleashed.
