The Amelia Bedelia Treasury: Three Books by Peggy Parish

The Amelia Bedelia Treasury: Three Books by Peggy Parish by Peggy Parish (Author), Fritz Siebel (Illustrator), Barbara Siebel Thomas (Illustrator)

Amelia Bedelia (1963)

Thank You, Amelia Bedelia (1964)

Amelia Bedelia and the Surprise Shower (1966)

These are the first Amelia Bedelia book. She takes everything literally and gets in all sorts of trouble because of it. However, she is also a great cook, and the delicious food always manages to save her. The third book is a bit different. Here, it is the literal understanding of "shower" and the spray with water that helps cure a headache. The food is incidental. These originals are better than the derivatives.
