Bookroo's summary
Amelia Bedelia is on a quest for a new job after Mrs. Rogers reaches her limit. Her literal approach to tasks, like using a nail file on documents, leads to hilarious mishaps. As each job turns into a comedic disaster, will Amelia ever find a place where her unique skills are appreciated? Dive into her world of misunderstandings and see if she can finally find where she belongs.
From the publisher
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.
