Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish

2.0

I didn't really get into Amelia Bedelia as a kid, but thought I'd try reading a few of the books to my kids since they are classics. I think the book shows its age (and class status). I think the children the book was written for are the kind of children who would say, "Haha! Draw the curtains! That's not what "draw the curtains" means!" But that phrase is almost archaic these days. Seriously, when's the last time you heard someone tell you to "put out the lights?" So I'm still not a fan and will probably not continue to read more of the series to my kids.
