  I AM SO TEMPTED TO SEND THIS BOOK TO POLITICIANS EVERYWHERE - just tell THE TRUTH and let the PEOPLE VOTE - what a concept - will it ever really happen.

  Is there anything better than Amelia Bedelia?  I think not.  It's the perfect blend of entertainment and learning to distinguish between literal and figurative meaning--not to mention the not-so-subtle jab at politicians failing to keep their promises.  And of course, Amelia Bedelia takes the city by a landslide--but not literally!  With entertaining illustrations and an optimistic storyline and resolution, Amelia Bedelia 4 Mayor is a fun read for all ages.

  Tiny picked this one up at the library and we both loved it. The ridiculousness of an election campaign involving Amelia Bedelia isn’t too far off from the ridiculousness of any election you care to name (the media even takes sides - if that isn’t true-to-life...) Anyway, lots of fun and silliness.

  I understand the logic behind electing a literal person into office. Of course you expect them to keep every promise they make because they literally do what they say or are told to do. Amelia is a person of many talents.

  I read some Amelia Bedelia when I was a kid. I like her and I like how these books handle language (definitely great for teaching), but this one was too much, one idiom after the next.

  Read as part of my personal "Catch up on childhood classics" challenge.
  
  Oh, Amelia. Not only is she literal, she is cursed to do what anyone asks her to. I'm starting to think she's a genie.

  I have always loved reading the Amelia Bedelia series as I was growing up, it has been my favorite! Amelia Bedelia has become a big hero and influence to many people in this story as she runs for mayor. At first Amelia is baking and frosting cakes and next thing you know she is running for mayor. She gets so much positive comments as other people in her community are with her all the way. In this election Amelia is very humorous and does her best to get the people's votes. This is a very good political view for young readers to understand as Amelia gets in to the election. It is good for many readers that are looking for a educational setting with a sense of humor. I think that many readers would benefit from this as they get more in depth of the story and get to know the character of Amelia Bedelia. She isn't too serious about the whole situation and she talks to the people about why they should vote for her.
  
  The illustrations to the story bring in readers by Amelia's actions. She does way more than she talks. Herman Parish has put Amelia in a situation where she takes charge, as the person she is she always takes orders. I think that the audience would also get to know this side of her as they read on. This book is age appropriate for second grade level readers!

  This is a perfect book for young readers who are looking for an entertaining read and like humor to be involved in the books they read. Amelia Bedelia just has a reputation for doing things exactly how they are told. When Mr. Rogers tells her she should run for the Mayor’s office, she literally runs to the Mayor’s office. It is a great book to show people that sometimes things can be taken in the wrong way or can be taken too literal. The illustrations throughout this book are very detailed and I thoroughly enjoyed them along with the reading because they fit the words perfectly. Overall, the Amelia Bedelia books series is very entertaining and perfect for beginning level readers. I would recommend this book as well as the entire series because of the slight humor the books bring to the table as well as the occasional humor.

  Amelia Bedelia's stories are classic and fun. Our girls enjoy them, laughing at how literally Amelia takes everything. In this story, Amelia ventures into politics, and I'm sure she'd be as good of a public servant as any we have, if not much, much better. This book came with an audio cassette and our girls enjoyed listening to it a few times.

  Amelia Bedelia books are for children who have some understanding of the jokes. Fifth graders may enjoy reading this fun and silly book.This one about Amelia 4 Mayor can teach politics and new word meanings. Voters sitting on the fence is an example of an undecided voter but Amelia was thinking people were sitting on a real fence.

  This is my first Amelia Bedelia book. My wife told me that she enjoys the character, but didn't like this particular book that much.
  
  Apparently Amelia Bedelia takes everything literally, and then nonsense ensues.
  
  I could see this book having the ability to teach kids about different phrases and metaphors.

  I love Amelia Bedelia books, especially when teaching students about figurative language. This book is full of idioms and the students love to find the idioms and then talk about what it really means and what Amelia Bedelia thought it meant. We also draw pictures of some of the idioms in the book.

  Amelia Bedelia once again misunderstands what Mr. and Mrs. Rogers are talking about and inadvertently runs for town mayor. She also inadvertently bows out of the race by stories end.

  Amelia does what she says she will do, and does what others tell her to do in her own way. At least she sticks by her word. She also helped the mayor realise a lesson to. Lesson I learned is becareful what you say. and do what you say you will do.

  These Amelia Bedelia books are very funny. She's a maid who takes everything literally and it always leads to mischief and hilarious situations. In this book she runs for mayor because she always does exactly what she is told. It leads to funny situations.

  I love this series and want to use them in my classroom to introduce my students to idioms. I may use this one since it's an election year.
  
  Classroom tie-ins: elections, idioms...
