    About this ebook

    Amelia Bedelia, America's favorite housekeeper, had a childhood full of surprises, mischief, and hilarious misunderstandings. In this illustrated chapter book adventure, just right for fans of Judy Moody and Ivy + Bean, young Amelia Bedelia and her friends build a zoo in the backyard (complete with stuffed animals and attractions) and offer safari adventures to the entire neighborhood. This is the fourth book in the nationally bestselling Amelia Bedelia chapter book series, and it is just right for newly independent readers ready for a more challenging vocabulary and books with chapters.

    Amelia Bedelia takes everything literally, and that leads to all kinds of silly misunderstandings. The bestselling and beloved housekeeper has been making readers laugh for more than fifty years. Amelia Bedelia has a warm and positive attitude, and she has fun with language, vocabulary, and idioms. The Amelia Bedelia chapter books feature short, easy-to-read chapters, illustrations throughout, and Amelia Bedelia's can-do spirit. This is the fourth book in the chapter book series featuring the childhood of America's favorite housekeeper. The first book is called Amelia Bedelia Means Business, the second book is Amelia Bedelia Unleashed, and the third book is called Amelia Bedelia Road Trip!—and you don't have to read them in series order to enjoy them.

    Amelia Bedelia Chapter Book #4 - Herman Parish

    Amelia Bedelia was sick. She was really, really, really, really, really sick. She was sick of being in her bedroom. She was sick of playing with her animals and dolls.

    She was sick of watching nature programs on TV. She was sick of gazing out the window at the beautiful spring day. She was sick of thinking about how much fun her class was having without her on the field trip to the zoo. Most of all, she was sick of being sick.

    How’s the worst patient in the world? asked Amelia Bedelia’s mother. She put a bowl of soup and a grilled cheese sandwich on Amelia Bedelia’s desk, along with Amelia Bedelia’s favorite fruit, a banana.

    Amelia Bedelia stood up in bed.

    I’m all better now! she announced.

    To prove it, she jumped up and started waving her arms around. Quickly she plopped back down again.

    Mommy, she said, make the room stop spinning!

    Don’t make yourself dizzy, sweetie, her mother said, tucking her back in. I don’t want you to fall and hit your head, on top of having the flu!

    Amelia Bedelia began coughing.

    Are you okay? asked her mother. This pesky flu is one tough bug!

    Flu comes from an insect? said Amelia Bedelia. That’s gross! It’s not fair that a tiny bug stopped me from going to the zoo. I’m missing all the cool animals!

    Only one good thing had happened while Amelia Bedelia was sick. She had gotten to watch a television show about monkeys, and she learned an amazing thing. Since monkeys eat lots of bananas, they have figured out a fast way to peel them. Instead of starting at the hard stalk at the top, they turn the banana upside down. Then they pinch the little nub at the bottom, and the skin falls right off!

    Amelia Bedelia peeled her banana the way she had seen the monkeys do it on TV. Presto! It worked! The skin fell right off. Amelia Bedelia ate her banana, but she didn’t touch anything else. She was too sick!

    When Amelia Bedelia’s father got home from work, he sat on Amelia Bedelia’s bed and began polishing off her sandwich and soup.

    Still sick as a dog, huh? he asked. He looked around Amelia Bedelia’s bedroom. Hey, speaking of dogs, where’s Finally?

    Amelia Bedelia was about to sneeze, so she pointed to her dog, who was curled up on a dog bed in the corner of her room.

    Ah-ah-AHHHH . . . CHOO!

    Choo! sneezed Finally, at exactly the same time.

    That’s a neat trick, said her father. So is Finally as sick as a dog too?

    She has no choice, said Amelia Bedelia. Finally is a dog. She can’t be as sick as an elephant.

    Good point, said her dad. "Hey, you aren’t playing possum, are you? You didn’t miss your trip to the zoo on
