作者简介The late Peggy Parish, well known for her stories about Amelia Bedelia, wrote many popular books for children, including Dinosaur Time, illustrated by Arnold Lobel.
"I hate reading but your books are changing my opinion." This letter, from a young Peggy Parish fan, comes as no surprise to the teachers and librarians who have put her books in the hands of children over the years. Ms. Parish wrote nearly three dozen children's books-many of which include her most famous character, the literal-minded maid named Amelia Bedelia.
Peggy Parish knew what children like to read. After graduating from the University of South Carolina with a degree in English, she taught school in Oklahoma, Kentucky, and, for over 15 years, at the well-known, progressive Dalton School in New York City. It was at Dalton that she began to find ways to release her creative ideas and energy, Though she never took a writing course, "writing stories for children came naturally." Her first book, published in 1961, was followed with Let's Be Indians and in 1963 with her unforgettable Amelia Bedelia.
Always involved with education in some way, Peggy Parish did television pieces on preschool education and children's books, wrote children's-book review columns, and led numerous in-service training workshops for teachers. In discussing her ideas about education, she said, "Children's rights are taken away from them when they enter school. What I try to show teachers is that all the skills needed to read can be taught outside of textbooks. Today's children are not going to read what they are not interested in. And if a positive attitude toward reading is not developed during the first three years of school, it is virtually impossible to develop it later."
After living in New York for many years, Peggy Parish returned to her native South Carolina. She died in November, 1988. But Ameila Bedelia did not die. Peggy Parish's nephew, Herman Parish, has written Good Driving, Amelia Bedelia and Bravo, Amelia Bedelia!, published by Greenwillow Books in 1995 and 1997 respectively.

I remembered these books from when I was young. I bought them to help with teaching my autistic son about sarcasm, metaphors, and literal thinking. He thought the books were hilarious, so he didn't realize that they were also therapeutic. I really love the stories and the humor.
My Grandaughter is only 3 but already loves Amelia Bedelia stories and I can't wait for her to be able to read this one to me. I think she has memorized some words as we read it so often. Arrived good condition and on time.
When I was younger I enjoyed reading about crazy Amelia Bedelia, so I figured my son would as well. When they arrived he was very excited about reading them because some of his friends had read them already. He quickly read the first one and couldn't wait to tell me about all the things Amelia was doing. He finished all 3 within 2 days and was anxious to read some more. I appreciate anything that will get him reading enthusiastically.
My daughter loves Amelia Bedelia, just like I did as a child, and had an easy and enjoyable time reading this book. She is a first grader this year, and was able to read it alone midway through the school year. The DRA level is 28 (late second-third grade) but her current level is 20-22 (early second grade) and it seems more appropriate. It is engaging enough to real aloud as well.
daughter loved them,i sent them for her 26th b-day.she remembered how much she use to love them! GREAT purchase. thank you
