Amelia Bedelia is back! And this time author Herman Parish (nephew of Peggy Parish, Ameia Bedelia's creator) and illustrator Lynne Avril revised Peggy Parish's classic character from an I Can Read book into a picture book. Parish and Avril present Amelia Bedelia's beginnings as a young girl eager to experience life and intent to confuse word denotations, thus preserving the humor of Amelia Bedelia. Jump into fall with Amelia Bedelia (Isn't that just a fun name to say? I love reading it aloud, too!) in Amelia Bedelia's First Apple Pie (c. 2010). You can imagine the catastrophic possibilites with Amelia Bedelia visiting a farmer's market . . . to purchase "Granny Smith" apples . . . to take back to Grandma . . . to bake a pie. Typically Amelia Bedelia saves the day in spite of her unperceptive mishaps, see how Parish and Avril conclude this tale.
Note: I personally prefer reading or hearing the original I Can Read mishaps of Amelia Bedelia. However, the kids seemed to enjoy the update better. To each their own!
