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.

Guess who's at bat? The lovable, hilarious Amelia Bedelia is back, filling in for a sick player on the Grizzlies baseball team. Watch out! Because nobody plays ball like Amelia Bedelia. 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

Horn Book Review

Amelia Bedelia wreaks havoc on the Grizzlies' big game against the Tornados when she takes all instructions literally -- ''Make a base hit so Jimmy can come in.' 'Which base should I hit?'' -- but ends up saving the day with a home run and a home plate full of cookies. The humor is rather forced here; not one of the strongest Amelia Bedelia stories.
