If you could ask the author one question about this book, what would it be?
Why did you write this book.
On the Amelia Bedelia website, Herman Parish answered this, in his own words:
"In true Amelia Bedelia fashion, I backed into writing about the literal-minded housekeeper.
Amelia Bedelia was created by my aunt, Peggy Parish. In 1988, as Amelia Bedelia celebrated her 25th anniversary, Peggy passed away. Years later, Peggy was still receiving fan mail from children who wondered when the next Amelia Bedelia book would be out. Other children’s book authors volunteered to continue the series, but I felt uneasy about Amelia Bedelia leaving our family. Since I had been in the fourth grade when she first appeared, I had literally grown up with her. So in 1993, I decided to try to write a new Amelia Bedelia adventure. My four sisters and my family were very supportive and encouraged me."
