Herman Parish writes children's books continuing the Amelia Bedelia character created by his aunt Peggy Parish. His stories take Amelia back into childhood, where literal interpretations of language turn school, family, holidays and friendships into wordplay-driven comedy. Amelia Bedelia's First Day of School introduces the younger character in a classroom setting, while chapter books and later series titles give her longer adventures involving sleepovers, road trips, clubs and everyday misunderstandings. Parish keeps idioms, double meanings and verbal confusion at the centre rather than simply repeating the housekeeper plots of the original books. Parish's Amelia Bedelia books are strongest under early readers, humorous chapter books, language play and school stories. Read more Less
