On Christmas Eve, Amelia Bedelia has to get the Rogers house ready for a visit from Aunt Myra. But as usual, Amelia takes directions literally and turns the house upside down delicious. Cake has lots of dates. Six cups popcorn for balls, and more for tree. Greet her with carols. Trim tree. String lights. Put a big star on top of the tree.

Meet the zany housekeeper. You'll be surpised to find out what "dust the furniture" and "dress a chicken" really mean!

Housemaid Amelia Bedelia smilingly obeys to the letter. Cousin Acolcu helps prune hedges and prepare shower for Miss Alma at ladies' Tuesday afternoon sewing. Mr Rogers says scale and ice his fish. Mrs Rogers says cut flowers, run over tablecloth. Acolcu and Amelia with purse and hat, don swimsuits and find garden hose. Can chocolate frosted cupcakes save this day?

Taking care of baby Amelia Bedelia has her hands full when she takes care of Mrs. Lane's baby. As usual, the literal-minded housekeeper mixes things up, but she also wins the heart of her newest and youngest fan.

Amelia Bedelia has never been camping. She tries her best to do as the Rogers order, but pitching a tent is not the same as throwing it into the bushes, and catching a fish with bare hands does not mean keeping. Tent stakes are not the same as tent-shaped steaks. Starting a fire on the grill may take a match more than pine cones and coffee grounds. Shhh for sleeping bags.

A classic Amelia Bedelia story is now an I Can Read Book, and in full color too! With new illustrations based on the original art of Fritz Siebel, this laugh-out-loud favorite comes to life as the lovable, literal-minded housekeeper strips the sheets, pares the vegetables, and makes a jelly roll for Great-Aunt Myra's visit. This new edition is sure to please every fan of Amelia Bedelia'even Great-Aunt Myra!
