Title: Amelia Bedelia Goes Camping
Author: Peggy Parish
Publishing Information: Green Willow Book
Number of Pages: 15
Summary: Amelia is invited to go camping with the Rogers and she has never been before so she is really excited about going. She wants to make the Rogers happy so she makes sure she listen to everything that she is told so she won't get in trouble. For example when they are leaving Mr. Rogers tells her lets hit the road so she gets two sticks and starts to hit the road. Then they ask her to pitch the tent and she assumes that means like in baseball where you throw the ball. So she throws it into the bushes.
Reaction: This book had my laughing the whole time. It just makes me happy that she takes everything so literally. And makes me wonder who other people from different cultures might take common phrase that we know what they mean but others might not
Problems: None
Recommendation: For those children that are starting to learn more words and are looking for more to read then pictures books. These are not much longer but they have more story to them so they will be more longer to read but younger kids can still read them on their own.
