About the Author

Herman Parish was in the fourth grade when his aunt, Peggy Parish, wrote the first book about Amelia Bedelia. Since then, the lovable housekeeper has become a favorite household character for readers young and old. After Peggy Parish died in 1988, her nephew continued Amelia Bedelia's exploits in sixteen books, including Amelia Bedelia, Bookworm; Amelia Bedelia and the Cat; Amelia Bedelia Talks Turkey; and Amelia Bedelia Bakes Off. He has also written three picture books starring Amelia Bedelia—Amelia Bedelia's First Day of School, Amelia Bedelia's First Valentine, and Amelia Bedelia's First Apple Pie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amelia Bedelia's spin on Valentine's Day!, February 8, 2008

This review is from: Be My Valentine, Amelia Bedelia (Paperback)

Mrs. Rogers is throwing a party on Valentine's Day, and, of course, Amelia Bedelia is offering her always well-meaning assistance with the project.

When the all-important invitation list is gone, Amelia comes up with her own system to put everything back together again, with the kind of results that her fans have come to expect!

Be My Valentine, Amelia Bedelia is one sweet Valentine gift for young readers that will teach them about word play and encourage more reading. The illustrations beautifully underscore the action of the story.

I bought a few of these books for my goddaughter. She loves Amelia because she is clever, quirky and a hoot. Great role model for little girls!
