When Mr. and Mrs. Rogers hired Amelia Bedelia to be their housekeeper they had no idea just how literally she takes everything people tell her. This, of course, gets Amelia into several curious to say the least situations that will amuse you and your child as you read to him or her. In this first book of the series Amelia is left with a list of things to do while they are out. She is supposed to draw the drapes, now why would they want a picture of the drapes. She is supposed to put out the lights, so she takes them out of their sockets, goes outside and hangs them up. So why do the Rogers' keep her on if she is such a fumbling, bumbling housekeeper? Could have something to do with her lemon meringue pie?
