The Amelia Bedelia books have sold more than 35 million copies! Review: Great series! - My daughter (now 9 yrs old) loves these books. She has always been a bit of a slow reader and teachers have brought it to our attention since she started school. She LOVES these books and will read without whining (score!!). I think they have helped develop her love to read. And it's fun when she tells me little snippets of funny parts. Keep them coming Parish! Review: Amelia is a fun and positive character - Amelia is a fun and positive character. My granddaughters love her. The eight year old one, second grader, enjoys reading this to her little sister, age 3. Both find it really funny! Good series of books for young girls.
