We all love Amelia Bedelia! No one dusts the furniture or draws the drapes quite like she does. This version of the famous children's book, published in 2013, is the 50th anniversary edition of the very first Amelia Bedelia book, which came out in 1963. This special edition restores the original text, page design, jacket, and palette of that 1963 volume. What else is the same? Well, the dressed chicken, the dusted furniture, of course, and that delicious lemon meringue pie, among other things. 

An additional eight pages of behind-the-scenes information about the beginnings of this iconic character, the author, the artist, and Amelia Bedelia exploits throughout the years is included. Kids love Amelia's literal trips through the minefield of the English language; adults love that Amelia is usually right when she's wrong. With back matter on the author, Peggy Parish.

Hardcover picture book, unpaginated. 2013.
