Come Back, Amelia Bedelia follows the lovably literal-minded maid Amelia Bedelia as she loses her job and goes from one misadventure to the next trying to find new work, taking every instruction at face value with hilarious results. A classic early reader full of wordplay and gentle humour, perfect for young children learning to read. Illustrated with charming black and teal drawings by Wallace Tripp throughout.

Condition: This is a vintage paperback in well-loved condition. The cover shows general wear, creasing, and some soiling consistent with age and use. The spine shows significant wear and bending. Internally, the pages are tanned/yellowed with age but are intact and legible. There is a previous owner's name written in red pen on the inside front page ("Liz Reeve Grb") and a handwritten dedication on the title page verso. A ruler appears in several interior shots but is not included. Overall a readable vintage copy suited for collectors or nostalgic readers rather than gift condition.
