Play Ball Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish - Pictures by Wallace Tripp


Amazon says: 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

MY REVIEW: There needs to be more books like Amelia Bedelia ...”’Put Dick out. ... she ran and grabbed Dick. ‘How far out do you want him?’ she called. ...’” Funny, funny, funny Amelia Bedelia learning to play ball. Children and adults laugh at Amelia Bedelia antics. Laughter has been proven to be the best medicine for all illness. It sends endorphins throughout the body and lifts the spirit. I have loved reading Amelia Bedelia books to my children and grandchildren. Their laughter is catchy and fun to hear. Life is tough, and laughter carries us through tough times. The illustrations go along with this delightful book. I was excited to see Amelia Bedelia on Amazon.
