What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

In this vibrant edition, newly recolored by the original illustrator, Amelia Bedelia’s job search gets her into another ‘homonym hot seat because she does what she’s told’literally. For example, she gets a job as a file clerk, only she takes out a nail file and shreds the papers she’s supposed to file away! The comic convolutions are endless and endlessly enjoyable.’’The Baton Rouge Advocate Magazine.
