Comments: My 3 year old son loves this book, probably because he’s completely familiar with the concept of misunderstanding instructions and doing things wrong. He likes to carry a broom and pretend he’s Amelia Bedelia and is very interested in making a lemon merengue pie. I knew he wouldn’t understand most of the words as they were written, so I took the time to explain what was going on the first time through.
