Goodreads

In the latest Amelia Bedelia adventure, Amelia is super excited for picture day only to be disappointed when the photographer has the flu. Amelia doesn’t dwell on the situation though; she takes initiative and turns her day around.  This is an early reader for kindergarten through second grade and would be great for kids who need help dealing with disappointment. Some kids will get a kick out of the humor in Amelia’s interpretation of language and her literal imaginings of idioms. A nice, upbeat book.
