Why was the children's book Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish banned?

Oh, dude, Amelia Bedelia got the ban hammer because apparently some people thought she was a bad influence on kids, mixing up literal and figurative language like a pro. Like, come on, it's just a book about a quirky maid taking things a bit too literally, not a manual on how to cause chaos in the kitchen. But hey, that's showbiz for ya!
