I have been reading the “Amelia Bedelia” books ever since I was little and I used to read this
series at my school library. I had actually
forgot that I had owned one of the “Amelia
Bedelia” books ever since I was little and it was a little book called “Good Driving, Amelia Bedelia,” which was
written by Peggy Parish’s nephew, Herman Parish along with artwork by Lynn Sweat.
This book was such a treat to read through!
It was Amelia Bedelia’s birthday and Mr. and Mrs. Rogers
decided to give Amelia Bedelia the day off to celebrate. It was then that Amelia Bedelia told them that
she will go and visit her cousin Alcolu and Mr. Rogers said that he will come with
Amelia Bedelia to see her cousin. Unfortunately,
Amelia Bedelia has not driven a car in a while and whenever Mr. Rogers tried to
give Amelia Bedelia directions to take on the road, Amelia Bedelia would either
get everything mixed up or would take certain phrases seriously, such as when Mr.
Rogers asks Amelia Bedelia to look for a fork in the road, Amelia Bedelia thought
that Mr. Rogers meant to find silverware in the road.
Will
Amelia Bedelia and Mr. Rogers be able to make it to the birthday party?
Read
this book to find out!
Wow! I never would
have thought that Herman Parish
would be able to bring out the same type of humor that was present in Peggy Parish’s “Amelia Bedelia” books! Herman Parish did a fantastic job at writing
this book as we get to see more adventures from Amelia Bedelia and the Rogers and
the adventures here are just as hilarious as ever! When it came to the “Amelia Bedelia” books, I was always laughing
out loud at Amelia Bedelia constantly getting things mixed up or not quite understanding
what other people are saying. So, when I came across a “Amelia Bedelia” book where Amelia Bedelia is learning how to drive,
I just had to see how this situation will turn out with Amelia Bedelia at the helm!
Lynn
Sweat’s artwork is truly cute to look at as I loved the clothing style of
Amelia Bedelia herself as she is always dressed in a black dress with a white apron
that shows off her status as the Rogers’ maid.
Overall, “Good Driving,
Amelia Bedelia” is a treat to behold, especially if you are a huge fan of the
“Amelia Bedelia” series! I would recommend this book to children ages
four and up since there is nothing inappropriate in this book.
