Happy Haunting, Amelia Bedelia
By Herman Parish
Pictures
by Lynn Sweat
Amelia
Bedelia is a maid who takes everything anyone says literally, but
that doesn’t stop Mr. And Mrs. Rogers from helping her find
out what Halloween is really all about.
From
busted windows to worm casserole, readers will be stunned and amused
at the antics of Amelia Bedelia and employers. Amelia, Mrs. Rogers,
and Mr. Rogers play off of each other so well that it’s hard
to choose which one is funnier, and the storyline is so crazy and
hilariously adorable, everyone will want to throw a Halloween bash
after reading it. And the illustrations are simply incredible. They
really bring out the zany humor of the story and characters into
the open even more. |
