Amelia Bedelia Goes Camping

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
