[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Amelie Bedelia - I guess it’s supposed to be funny but I just find her annoyingly incompetent.[/quote] Most of the kids I've read it to (or with) really enjoy feeling superior to AB. They understand what's going on so much better than she. My late mother, a nurse, used this to great effect. She was one of the most terrifyingly competent people I ever knew, but she'd pretend not to know what a tulip was, or that she couldn't screw a lid on a jar, or that she couldn't find the car. Kids would fall all overthemselves to help and show off their competence. It was delightful, and she was a favorite aunt and GP office nurse. [/quote]
