- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Fans of the original Amelia Bedelia will enjoy sharing the adventures of the young, school-age Amelia of Amelia Bedelia Tries Her Luck with the beginning readers in their lives. Although this version, written by Herman Parish, nephew to Amelia Bedelia’s creator, Peggy Parish, is modernized (gone is Amelia’s maid uniform, replaced by jaunty headbands and striped leggings), there are still classic Amelia Bedelia misunderstandings that are sure to prompt a few chuckles from the readers. The accompanying illustrations by Lynne Avril are similarly constructed as the original drawings in Amelia Bedelia--cartoonish with watercolors bleeding just outside the lines--albeit altered just a little to have an even more childish, sketch-like look.In Mr. Parish’s book, Amelia has become obsessed with luck. She breaks a mirror, and after her friends tell her she’s doomed to seven years of bad luck, she spends the remainder of tale trying to find tokens to improve her luck, including a horseshoe, four-leaf clover, and a rabbit’s foot, but has comes up empty handed.Her efforts attract the attention of her teacher, who turns their discussion into a teachable moment for the entire class regarding superstitions and what makes good and bad luck. At times the text may seem slightly too dense for very beginning readers, but there are plenty of repeated words and phrases to ease the transition. This story would be especially good for children struggling with fears of bad luck--Amelia has quite a moment with the classic “step on a crack/break your mother’s back” superstition--that should ease their anxiety.
