( For nearly half a century, Amelia Bedelia has been turn...)
For nearly half a century, Amelia Bedelia has been turning ordinary tasks into extraordinary fun. Amelia Bedelia draws the drapes with a pencil and sketchpad. She makes sponge cake with a real sponge. She recruits a train conductor to lead an orchestra. And when she's driving toward a fork in the road, she's also on the lookout for a spoon. You can count on the well-meaning Amelia Bedelia to take things to hilariously literal extremes. But you can also count on her putting her heart and friendship into everything she does—and always having a scrumptious cake or pie ready to share at the end of a long day. This book includes four of Amelia Bedelia's most beloved adventures; a CD to listen to while you read; and recipes, games, and more.

Parish was born in Manning, South Carolina to a poor family, attended the University of South Carolina, and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English.
University of South Carolina.
Amelia Bedelia is a simple character, based on cracker-barrel punning humor and folklore. She works as a household cook and occasional servant, jobs that Parish did in her home when she was young. She uses no recipes, but, by intuitively combining a little bit of this and a little bit of that, her cakes and cookies and meals are always delicious.
She is such a good cook that her employers cannot fire her, despite the disastrous way she misinterprets their instructions: prune the shrubs, scale and ice the fish, file the letters, run over the tablecloth with an iron, shorten these dresses, serve coffee with porridge, heat a can of soup, and so on.
Amelia Bedelia is extremely literal-minded. The author"s word-play, and Amelia Bedelia"s fundamental goodness and childlike simplicity appeal to youngsters who are beginning to see and enjoy more than one meaning in a word or a phrase.
Herman honored Peggy"s life in his book, Good Driving, Amelia Bedelia, by writing in its dedication: "Foreign Peggy Parish, the real Amelia." Amelia Bedelia Liza, Bill & Jed mysteries.
