Learn to read with young Amelia Bedelia! Amelia Bedelia has been loved by readers for more than fifty years, and it turns out that her childhood is full of silly mix-ups, too! Amelia Bedelia's friend Rose is having a slumber party. It's Amelia Bedelia's first sleepover, and she's confused. Isn't sleeping boring? Luckily, all the girls in Amelia Bedelia's class are there, and the party is the exact opposite of boring. There are pizzas to eat, games to play, and fingernail polish in all the colors of the rainbow to admire. And when it is time to go to sleep, well, something unexpected happens then, too. Amelia Bedelia discovers that friends and family are the best, no matter what time of day it is, in this Level 1 I Can Read, perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences.  

About Herman Parish

Herman Parish (1953-2024) was in the fourth grade when his aunt, Peggy Parish, created Amelia Bedelia, the literal-minded housekeeper. Peggy Parish wrote twelve books in the series before she passed away in 1988. The interest of educators and the enthusiasm of young readers prompted Herman Parish to continue the character in 1995 with his first book, Good Driving, Amelia Bedelia. Herman Parish went on to add more than forty books to the series, carrying on Amelia Bedelia’s adventures as a housekeeper in books such as the bestselling Amelia Bedelia, Bookworm. Additionally, Herman Parish broke new ground by portraying Amelia Bedelia as a young girl. Young Amelia is featured in picture books for the youngest children, I Can Read Level 1 beginning readers, and a series of chapter books. Sixty million copies later, Amelia Bedelia is a beloved character for readers young and old.

Izzy finally found her copy of Amelia Bedelia Sleeps Over so we were able to finish reading it. Why the heck are they teaching the kids to use context clues while teaching them to sound out words? Iz focuses more on the pictures then the letters. . .and the uses words with VERY different lengths and......more

I love this book. Amelia Bedelia now is one of my favorites. I would recommend this to any parent that’s sending their children in their first sleep over at a friend’s house. I think that this is a great way to teach them about all the fun activities they are going to have at their first sleep over.......more
