Synopsis
It all starts when Amelia Bedelia frosts the pancakes — with chocolate frosting. Then, before you can say "irrepressible," Amelia Bedelia is running for the mayor's office. Literally. "A vote for me is a vote for the future," says her opponent. "A vote for me is a vote for Amelia Bedelia," says our heroine. But when you cast a vote, do you catch a fish? Amelia Bedelia's many fans will be rolling in the aisles as this Election Day comedy unfolds with one funny wordplay after another. Perfect for fall! Will be embraced by all! Not one reader left sitting on the fence! And those are not campaign promises!
Children's Literature
This is a 1991 book--in time for election 2000 that is worthy of becoming part of every voting family's election year reference shelf. Political discussions need dependable humor! Amelia's fans know her to be the mistress of literal interpretation--a pun or two on every page. This tale takes her from a breakfast discussion over the Mayor and taxes, into and through early campaigning, until a debate that satisfies Ameila and ends her mayoral campaign. But what next, "I am going to the White House...I borrowed a book from Mrs. White, and she said to leave it at her house." said the indomitable Amelia Bedelia.
