20 Books From Your Childhood You Completely Forgot You Loved
17. Amelia Bedelia
From drawing the drapes (with paper and pen) to dressing the chicken (in little clothes), the amusing misadventures of zany Amelia Bedelia taught children everywhere both the danger and the hilarity of taking things literally. Peggy Parishs kooky character is now the focus of over forty books, dating back to the first, simply titled Amelia Bedelia, which was published in 1963. Since then, Parishs lovably bumbling heroine and her droll blunders have brought giggles and cheer to many a young reader. If youre going to pick up an Amelia Bedelia book, prepare for a belly full of laughs.
