5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for Adults and Children Alike, April 3, 2001

By 

K. Downey (Atmore, AL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Play Ball, Amelia Bedelia (I Can Read Book 2) (Paperback)

As a child, I read many Amelia Bedelia books and never tired of them. As an adult, I am looking forward to sharing so many of the stories with my own child. The fact that Amelia takes everything so literally allows for countless scenarios which children (and adults) will find hilarious. Whether "stealing home plate" or "dressing the turkey," Amelia always surprises and delights. Children will be begging parents to read these stories again and again. We can all use good, clean humor in our lives. The time to instill that love of laughter should begin in childhood, and the Amelia Bedelia books will certainly delight children everywhere.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Baseball Book, August 9, 2001

This review is from: Play Ball, Amelia Bedelia (I Can Read Book 2) (Paperback)

I came across this book while looking for books about baseball for my preschooler. Not much to choose from in this niche market, but this book is a hit! My son thinks it's funny when Amelia Bedelia "steals the bases" and "runs home". Wish there were more books like this!

This review is from: Play Ball, Amelia Bedelia Book and CD (I Can Read Book 2) (Audio CD)

We took a trip through 4 states and had purchased 5 sets of books on CD. They all worked out great. We put them in our portable DVD player w/double headset jacks and 2 of us could listen at the same time. We laughed together at how silly Amelia Bedelia can be. Great purchases with many years of enjoyment left in them.
