Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish
3.0

A favorite of mine in third grade. Basically, Amelia Bedelia doesn't understand colloquialisms. Pun hilarity ensues!

Growing up with a lot of family and friends that spoke English as a second language, our move was usually just to mangle the colloquialisms. Maybe it's a good lesson for kids that not everyone understands these English expressions.
