My granddaughter Rita is helping me write this review. She says this is one of her favorite books, and she recommends it to other kids. Rita read this book when she was in first grade. She's in second grade this year.

Rita says the story starts when the familiy is going on a camping trip. She says Amelia's Dad says "Let's Hit the Road" and and Amelia picks up a stick and starts hitting the road. Amelia seems to always get things wrong. When they get to the campsite she falls in the river and her clothes are all wet.

But one day, Amelia's Dad forgets his own birthday, so Amelia Bedelia makes a cake and fancy dinner for him. And the family starts singing "Happy Birthday to You." And he thanks Amelia Bedelia for the cake. Amelia finally does something that pleases her Dad. The End.

It is about a funny camping trip. My favorite part is when Amelia Bedelia goes boating, and takes all the boats with her. I am seven years old.

My grandsons loves these books as well as the junie B jones books they are so full of funny little incidents and ideas. I think these books keep the childrens attention and give them a laugh. They also get involved with things they enjoy camping fishing school things they can relate to themselves.
Please Read to your Children or grandchildren it creates a special bond and my 8 yr old grandson is top reader in his class 3 years and I think it is where he and I always read books when he stays with me which is almost every week end and it has become one of our nitely rituals and now I am doing the same with a 4 year old and 20 months old.

Amelia Bedelia is the housekeeper for Mr. and Mrs. Rogers. (I would say she's probably about 18?) She takes everything literally; doesn't understand figures of speech. Because of this, she gets into some very interesting situations. But she does have an incredible talent: cooking, because she follows directions verbatim.

In this particular book, Amelia and the Rogers go camping. There is a tent to be pitched and fish to be caught. Will Amelia pitch the tent and catch the fish? Because of Amelia's literalness, will there be a disaster at the campsite? Will there be a happy ending indeed?

I love Amelia Bedelia books. If you haven't been lucky enough to discover her, I recommend these books.

Amelia Bedelia is one of my favorite characters. Even though these are children's books, I find a bit of coziness in these books. I have loved Amelia Bedelia every since I discovered her (when my kids were little.)

I think that Amelia Bedelia is really funny. I want to recommend this book to anyone who likes to laugh.

I bought this book for my nice and I read it to he and I enjoyed it myself! Is as funny as any other Amelia Bedelia book, and it even gives a general idea on what camping is all about!

So the rogers and amelia go on a camping trip but everything was a disaster! The sleeping 'bags' were paper bags, the tent steaks were tent-shaped steak slices, she 'pitched' the tent and other funny things.

This is a great book for young children. There is no bad language just good, clean reading. It's funny and amusing and will keep your children laughing.

" Amelia Bedelia Goes Camping: I Can Read!" hits its reading target as a high-interest story. Most of us love to go camping and if we have, we all have stories to tell. Amelia, of course, has her own way of doing it. Somewhere along the line, I missed reading this one when it came out, but Amelia's adventures are timeless and always fun.

I have found the Amelia Bedelia series to be a great teaching tool for idioms and figurative language. The illustrations are great for giving picture clues to my diverse classroom of students. Idioms are not easy to understand because they cannot be interpreted literally. It is important for all students to realize that every phrase that they hear (especially if it doesn't seem to make sense)may not be interpreted exactly as it sounds and that the speaker/author may not mean what is said literally. For example, "Hit the road." If interpreted literally would entail striking the road with a hand or object when indeed the character meant: "Get in the car and go."
