A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

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 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.

Lynne Avril is a painter and illustrator, best known for her work on the young Amelia Bedelia book series, written by Herman Parish. She has illustrated well over 100 books in her career. As a painter, her works are visual journals of her life, reflecting thoughts, travels, and music (she’s a bass player too!). Lynne Avril grew up in Montana and received her BA in art from the University of Montana, and lives in Portland, Oregon.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Amelia Bedelia is signed up for dance classes at Dana's School of Dance, and she is not happy about it!

Amelia Bedelia loves to dance for fun and make up her own crazy steps, but ballet is boring! It only takes a few minutes for her to realize, though, that Dana's School of Dance is anything but boring. Amelia Bedelia discovers:

1. Tap shoes can be just like drums.
2. Salsa is more than a dip for a chip.
3. A flamingo is a bird. Flamenco is a kind of dance.
4. A ballet bun is not a hamburger bun. Or a bagel.

Can Amelia Bedelia and her classmates take all they have learned about dance and put on a recital to bring down the house?
