Merry Christmas, Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish, Lynn Sweat
3.0
When I was a kid, I was beyond irked by Amelia Bedelia. She was so absurd, and I was so serious. Now that I'm older, the kooky behavior of the maid still makes me shake my head, even if I understand the point of the character.
Now, however, I am most bespeckled by Mrs. Rodgers, who continually entrusts Amelia Bedelia with vague lists of tasks that are sure to confuse. Mr. Rodgers is realistic; he's like, "Yeah, it's a mess, but let's make the best of a cake with paper and rocks in it." Mrs. Rodgers is appalled each time, to which I ask: If you know the fire is hot, why keep putting your hand out to be burned???
