Amelia Bedelia’s First Day of School By Herman Parish

This book captures the entire first day of school for young students. I really enjoyed reading this book as an adult because it captures all the excitement and energy of young students. I loved the enthusiasm of Amelia Bedelia, and found her to act similar to that of Junie B. Jones. The colors and tone of the book is really happy and carefree, which spread positive vibes to me while reading. I enjoyed the ending when the teacher said that it was her first day of school, because I will soon have that first day experience too. I found it interesting how the new teacher did not yell or loose her patience with Amelia. I am hoping that students enjoy this book as much as I did, and maybe it would work well as a book to read for the first day of school. I think that the words may be too difficult for a first grader to read in the beginning of the school year, but I think that first graders would definitely enjoy this read.
