The classroom is about to get a major dose of hilarious confusion. When the principal, Mr. Carter, accidentally mistakes the literal-minded housekeeper Amelia Bedelia for the school's new substitute teacher, the students are in for an unforgettable day. Armed with a list of lesson plans, Amelia steps up to the chalkboard ready to follow every direction exactly as it is written. If the schedule says to call the roll, she might just ask bread rolls to speak up. If it is time for a science experiment or a physical education drill, her unique interpretations lead to instant chaos and endless giggles. You will love watching the students react as their ordinary school day turns into a wild and wacky adventure. This incredibly funny story perfectly captures the magic of words and the hilarious trouble they can cause when the world's most literal thinker is put in charge of a classroom full of eager children.
