Amelia Bedelias First Library Card

Parish, Herman

Amelia Bedelia checks out the entire library in this picture book celebration of libraries, books, and reading. The sixth book in the nationally best-selling series about the childhood of America’s favorite literal-minded housekeeper.

Amelia Bedelia loves to read, so a visit to the library in town is right up her alley. There are books, books, and more books, of course, but Amelia Bedelia and her classmates are especially excited to meet the librarians, help out at the circulation desk, and investigate the stacks. But when everyone is presented with a library card—that’s when the real fun begins! What will Amelia Bedelia check out? And what kind of adventure will her library book take her on?

Amelia Bedelia, America’s favorite literal-minded housekeeper, is turning fifty! The Amelia Bedelia books have sold more than 35 million copies since 1963. Hearty congratulations to Amelia Bedelia—and long may she reign!
