Horn Book Review

In Birds, Amelia Bedelia is first irritated then fascinated by a nest two robins build at the top of her slide. In Chalk, while her mother indulges in some retail therapy because she's feeling blue, literal-minded Amelia Bedelia "chalks up another gray day." These satisfying stories are accompanied by friendly illustrations.
