Step into the hilarious household of the world's most literal-minded housekeeper. When Amelia Bedelia receives a list of simple chores, she follows every single word exactly as it is written. If the instructions tell her to dress the chicken for dinner, she might just sew it a tiny outfit. If she needs to dust the furniture, you can expect her to sprinkle actual dust all over the living room. Her well-meaning mix-ups constantly turn ordinary days upside down, leading to laugh-out-loud messes that will keep you giggling from start to finish. This collection brings together three of her most famous misadventures, including a time when her exact obedience gets her fired from multiple jobs and an unforgettable afternoon where she steps onto a baseball field to fill in for a sick player. You will love seeing how her unique way of looking at the world always ends in a surprisingly sweet and funny resolution.
