A review by lattelibrarian
Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish

4.0

This was a childhood and current favorite, especially after seeing all of those Tumblr posts that just reinvents Amelia Bedlia as a horror-genre I-Can-Read book.  In comparison, the original is relatively mild, and filled with wonderful puns and understanding that some words can mean lots of different things--take it from Amelia herself, who dresses the turkey in little overalls, and who dusts the furniture with the matron's dusting powder.  There's a lot of double-meanings in this book, and it's just so cute and funny and joyful.  I hope that this stays a classic for a very long time.
