Description/Notes
Camp out Amelia Bedelia has never been camping in the great outdoors before. She's trying her best to do exactly as she's told, but pitching a tent is not the same as throwing it into the bushes, and catching a fish with your bare hands isn't easy. As usual, the mixed-up housekeeper makes this camping trip one hugely entertaining adventure. Peggy Parish was the author of many books enjoyed by children of all ages. Among her easy-to-read books are a number of beloved books about Amelia Bedelia. Originally from Manning, South Carolina, Peggy Parish taught school in Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and New York. Lynn Sweat has illustrated many Amelia Bedelia books, including Bravo, Amelia Bedelia!; Good Driving, Amelia Bedelia; Amelia Bedelia's Family Album; and Amelia Bedelia and the Baby. He is a painter as well as an illustrator, and his paintings hang in galleries across the country. He and his wife live in Connecticut. The mixed-up housekeeper goes camping for the very first time, and although she tries her best to do exactly as she's told, she makes this camping trip one hugely entertaining adventure. Now available in full color for the first time.
