Because she does exactly as she is told, Amelia Bedelia is fired from one job after another.

Autorentext

Peggy Parish (1927–88) first created the beloved character Amelia Bedelia in 1963. She wrote a total of twelve books about the zany antics of the charming housekeeper. Peggy Parish’s nephew, Herman Parish, then carried her tradition into the twenty-first century with new stories about classic Amelia Bedelia and new books about her childhood. With total sales of 60 million copies, Amelia Bedelia is one of the most iconic children’s book characters of all time. 

Wallace Tripp (1940–2018) illustrated over sixty books for children, including two Amelia Bedelia books, Come Back, Amelia Bedelia and Play Ball, Amelia Bedelia. Wallace Tripp is also the illustrator of the popular books No Flying in the House and Old Arthur. 

Klappentext

In this vibrant edition, newly recolored by the original illustrator, Amelia Bedelia's job search gets her into another ‘homonym hot seat because she does what she's told'literally. For example, she gets a job as a file clerk, only she takes out a nail file and shreds the papers she's supposed to file away! The comic convolutions are endless and endlessly enjoyable.'The Baton Rouge Advocate Magazine.
