Amelia Bedelia, the housekeeper with a literal mind, merrily upsets the household when she "dresses" the chicken and "trims" the steak with ribbons and lace ?
"No child can resist Amelia [Bedelia] and her literal trips through the minefield of the English language-and no adult can fail to notice that she's usually right when she's wrong."-The New York Times Book Review
Right on the button for juvenile humor! This book is for that stage in life when the acme of wit is considered to be a question like this--""How can I sit UP when I'm sitting DOWN?"" - Kirkus Reviews
This is purely a ‘silly’ book, with no lesson to impart, but it will seem hilarious to young children.” -- Saturday Review..
Petunia finds a book—and, deciding that if she owns a book she must be wise, dispenses hilariously mistaken advice to the other animals in the farmyard .
"Lots of giggles with a sly prod to beginning readers in this tale of a silly goose who wanted to be wise." Kirkus Book Review
“Petunia” was published in 1950 and became an instant classic. It makes an excellent read-aloud with younger members in your family. Or, you can just read it yourself and have a good laugh." - Book Review
