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.

Goodreads review by Amber on November 20, 2018

This is my first Amelia Bedilia book and it honestly drove me crazy because it kept confusing my preschooler. Amelia takes everything that people say literally, completely ignoring that some words have multiple meanings so my kid looked at me like I was an idiot most of the time since she's only 4 a......more

Goodreads review by Julee on April 04, 2013

Although not as wonderful as the original Amelia Bedelia books, the new little Amelia Bedelia does a nice job of introducing one of our favorite book characters in a fresh new way to a new generation. I cannot argue with that. Nice read aloud when explaining the voting process.......more

Goodreads review by Maddy on September 29, 2019

The book begins with Amelia delivering the class attendance list to the office and she runs into the school principal. Throughout this book and the Amelia Bedelia series as a whole, characters speak to Amelia using figurative language (i.e. sarcasm, figures of speech, etc.) but Amelia takes everythi......more
