Amelia Bedelia's First Field Trip

For almost fifty years, children have been reading about the hilarious adventures of Amelia Bedelia, the housekeeper so literal-minded she puts sponges in her sponge cake. Now, in a series of bestselling picture books, kids can discover what Amelia Bedelia was like when she was a little girl in elementary school.
 
In Amelia Bedelia’s First Field Trip, a picture book with exuberant, brightly colored illustrations, Amelia Bedelia is going on a field trip with her class. She expects to see, well, a field. To her delight, she and her classmates arrive at a working farm!
 
Amelia has a great time, although mishaps and misunderstandings are unavoidable. Her confusion over a green thumb, runner beans, and ponytails will give readers the giggles.

Amelia Bedelia is sure she will love everything about the field trip to the farm.

Collecting eggs
Milking a cow
Riding a tractor
Planting seeds
The picnic lunch

Amelia Bedelia can't wait.
What could be better?
A class field trip!
Hooray for school!
Hooray for the farm!
