A propos de l'auteur

Peggy Parish was born in Manning, South Carolina on July 14, 1927. She attended the University of South Carolina and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. While visiting her brother in Kentucky, Parish was persuaded to enter the teaching profession. After teaching creative dancing to young afficher plus children, she moved to Oklahoma and taught third grade in the Panhandle, in addition to teaching dance and producing community shows. Parish's first book, My Golden Book of Manners, was published in 1961, followed by Let's Be Indians in 1962. A parent of one of the students, who was an editor of adult books, found out she was trying to break into the writing field and introduced her to an editor at Harper who helped improve her skills as a storyteller. This, of course, led to her biggest breakthrough, the creation of Amelia Bedelia in 1963. Parish eventually wrote 11 more Amelia Bedelia books as well as a number of mystery novels, and arts and crafts books. Among these other titles are Haunted House, Dinosaur Time, The Chimp That Went to School and Let's Celebrate: Holiday Decorations You Can Make. In addition to writing books, Parish did television pieces on preschool education and children's books, wrote book review columns and led a number of in-service training workshops for teachers. Parish died of an aneurysm on November 19, 1988. Her nephew, Herman Parish, continues to recreate new titles in the Amelia Bedelia series. (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins

Children's Mystery: Clues, Treasure in the Walls? à Name that Book (Juillet 2017)

Key to the Treasure par Peggy Parish

This book is about three kids who are visiting their grandparents and come upon a mystery. This book was written in the 60's and felt very wholesome to me. There is some squabbling between the siblings but at one point the kids ask if they can help clean up after dinner and I felt that helpfulness really refreshing. It felt different than the books that are more current. I really enjoyed the different puzzles in the book and I think children reading this would have fun trying to solve the puzzles themselves. I was very invested in solving the mystery and read this very quickly (it's a pretty short book).… (plus d'informations)

Amelia Bedelia par Peggy Parish

In "Amelia Bedelia," we follow a housekeeper named Amelia Bedelia as she does her chores for the Rogers family. But Amelia Bedelia has a funny way of doing things—she takes everything people say very literally! So when she's told to "dress the chicken," she thinks it means putting clothes on it. And when she's asked to "draw the drapes," she grabs her pencils and starts drawing pictures of curtains. "Amelia Bedelia" is full of funny moments that show how Amelia Bedelia's literal thinking can lead to unexpected and amusing situations. But no matter what, she always brings a smile to the faces of those she meets. Teachers can engage students in discussions about the meanings of words and phrases, as well as the importance of context in understanding communication.… (plus d'informations)

Play Ball, Amelia Bedelia par Peggy Parish

Guess who's at bat? The lovable, hilarious Amelia Bedelia is back, filling in for a sick player on the Grizzlies baseball team. Watch out! Because nobody plays ball like Amelia Bedelia.
