Amelia Bedelia Road Trip! is the third book in the Amelia Bedelia series for beginning readers. Like the original Amelia Bedelia picture books by Peggy Parish, the young girl named Amelia Bedelia in these stories also interprets whatever she comes across literally, making for some funny reading, and also offering parents and teachers a wonderful resource with which to teach homonyms enticingly.
Beyond beefing up their vocabularies while still having fun, youngsters will also relish journeying alongside Amelia as she journeys to exciting places. This is an especially perfect book to share with readers who are new to traveling and who may be anxious about leaving home. Initially Amelia's worried about leaving her dog behind, but as she becomes more at home as a traveler her worries melt away.
Avril's black-and-white drawings add to the homeyness of Parish's prose, celebrating how great it is to have a dog for a pet, and how wonderful it is to have parents who are fun-to-be-with, supportive, and caring.
