About this ebook

Amelia Bedelia makes her chapter book debut! In Amelia Bedelia Means Business, a New York Times bestseller and the first book in the new chapter book series, young Amelia Bedelia will do almost anything for a shiny new bicycle.

Amelia Bedelia's parents say they'll split the cost of a new bike with her, and that means Amelia Bedelia needs to put the pedal to the metal and earn some dough! With Amelia Bedelia anything can happen, and it usually does. Short, fast-paced chapters, tons of friends, silly situations, and funny wordplay and misunderstandings make the Amelia Bedelia chapter books an ideal choice for readers of the Ivy and Bean, Magic Tree House, and Judy Moody books. Features black-and-white pictures by Lynne Avril on every page!

Look out! Here comes Amelia Bedelia, and she means business! "Sure to be favorites on the early chapter-book shelves."—School Library Journal

I read these when I first started to read. At first, I was scared of reading a whole book, but these series are amazing!! It's very detailed for a kids' book, and the series has awesome stories. it's a great start for first readers, starting with easy words and images. I gave it 4 stars because of how short the books I guess there are lots of other books.

Great engaging story with a clever use of word play and a very suitable language for readers on level 20-25 at around 6 or 7 years old
