Amelia Bedelia Goes Camping (I Can Read Level 2)

Description

Learn to read with the classic Amelia Bedelia! Ever since Amelia Bedelia made her debut in 1963, young readers have been laughing out loud at the antics of this literal-minded but charming housekeeper. Amelia Bedelia has never been camping in the great outdoors before. She's trying her best to do exactly as she's told, but pitching a tent is not the same as throwing it into the bushes, and catching a fish with your bare hands isn't easy. As usual, the mixed-up housekeeper makes this camping trip one hugely entertaining adventure. This Level 2 I Can Read is perfect for kids who read on their own but still need a little help. "No child can resist Amelia [Bedelia] and her literal trips through the minefield of the English language--and no adult can fail to notice that she's usually right when she's wrong."-- The New York Times Book Review Review: Camping Trip Like No Other - The Rogers are going camping, and they are taking Amelia Bedelia with them. She's never been before, so she has a lot to learn, like how to catch fish, pitch a tent, row a boat, and what sleeping bags are. Will they survive the trip? Since I grew up camping, this was one of my favorites in the series. I got all the jokes long before we saw the punch line. As always, this series is great at pointing out the absurdity of the English language. The laughs are plentiful, and the illustrations by Lynn Sweat really capture the characters and the humor. Kids who enjoy camping will certainly get the jokes. Others might need to have them explained, but then they will enjoy the humor as well.
