Amelia Bedelia Play Ball

Hi there. Have you ever thought about how funny our language can be at times? Well, in the story we are about to read together, you'll meet a delightful character, Amelia Bidelia, who always seems to mix up what's being said. The results are often hilarious, as you will see when Amelia Bidelia learns to play baseball. Let's begin reading Play Ball, Amelia Bidelia by Peggy Parrish. I'll read aloud, and you follow along in your copy of the book. We'll start on page five, where you'll see the picture of Amelia Bidelia carrying a bag of groceries as she watches the boys on the baseball field. Are you ready? Then let's begin.
