Description/Notes
When Mrs. Rogers leaves to pick up Aunt Myra, who is spending Christmas with the Rogers family, Amelia Bedelia is left with a list of instructions for trimming the tree, stuffing stockings, and more, all of which she interprets literally and humorously. Ink and wash sketches support the zaniness of the story. Christmas fun with silly Amelia Bedelia, the maid with nonsensical assumptions. As Amelia Bedelia helps Mrs. Rogers prepare for Christmas, she bakes a date cake with a calendar in it and stuffs the children's stockings with turkey stuffing. It's almost time to look for Santa Clause, and it's always time to look for fun with Amelia Bedelia.
