My daughter, age 8, second grade, loved this book. It was her first experience with Amelia Bedelia. She liked how there was a preview for the next book and has been asking for it! My daughter is a great reader and this was not a difficult read for her.

My daughter is super picky about the books she reads. Every bad kitty book is worn through, but I have entire series that collect dust. She's really enjoyed Amelia Bedelia and I am so relieved. I remember reading AB books when I was a kid and it's something we really connect on, laugh about, and read to each other. I will definitely be purchasing more for her.

I always loved Amelia Bedelia books as a child and I am so thrilled to share them with my children. My six year old loved Amelia Bedelia Means Business and so did I -- the writing is really made so that its age appropriate for children but also has funny jokes and inferences that adults will appreciate and the kids are usually asking, why are you laughing? The lessons of the story are positive -- the value of money, making money takes hard work and be yourself and don't be jealous of other people's possessions.

I purchased them for my reading group at school. I am getting our students started on a little chapter book so they can easily read larger books. Fun book. As a reading teacher Amelia Bedelia are fun books for students to read.

The seven-year old granddaughter got a bit bored halfway through. Was a struggle to have her plow through to the finish, and not because of reading level. She liked Amelia books in shorter doses. And she liked this okay, at least parts of it. But I suspect she won't be asking for more Amelia anytime soon when we have her read chapter books. If she does, I'll come back and add a star. Okay for what it is, especially if your little girl is already an Amelia Bedelia fan. But it's a pretty thin character to stretch to chapter-book plot levels.
