Gr. 2^-3. Maintaining the humor of the original, easy-to-read story about the literal-minded maid, this fluid Spanish rendition shows Amelia following senora Lopez's instructions to the letter. Young Spanish speakers will chuckle as the maid misinterprets Spanish expressions.

Parish's hilarious tale marks its fiftieth anniversary with this new edition, which includes Siebel's original comical illustrations. Though Amelia Bedelia's look has changed greatly over her storied book career, the kid-appeal of her well-intentioned mishaps hasn't waned. Commemorative back matter highlights the origins of the series and the lives of Amelia's creators, making this a worthy addition to any permanent collection. (c) Copyright 2013.

K-Gr 3?The hilarious antics of a housekeeper whose literal interpretations of her list of chores lead to some extremely funny messes. The translator maintains the humor and the plays on words found in the original English text, thus making this Spanish rendition free flowing and amusing. It is worth mentioning that the simple narrative is accessible to beginning readers. The brightly colored cartoon artwork is integral to the presentation, as many of the jokes are played out in the pictures. Fun fare.?Ruth Dlugos, NYPL (c) Copyright 2010.
