In the fifth book in the New York Times-bestselling chapter book
series about the childhood of America's favorite housekeeper, Amelia
Bedelia takes to the field, the yoga mat, and the track, with hilarious
results. Includes a guide to the idioms used in the book and features
black-and-white art throughout.
Amelia Bedelia's friends and classmates all have a particular sport that
they love and are good at. Amelia Bedelia loves sports and games of all
kinds, for different reasons. She has fun (and she loves to dribble and
dunk and run home), but she is not the fastest or strongest or quickest
at anything. Amelia Bedelia would love to have a sport to call her
own--and so when her class at school studies the sports of ancient
Greece, she goes on a mission to find one! With Amelia Bedelia, anything
can happen--and it usually does.
Short, fast-paced chapters, tons of friends and funny situations, and
black-and-white illustrations on every page make the Amelia Bedelia
chapter books an ideal choice for readers of the Ivy + Bean, Magic Tree
House, and Judy Moody books. The Amelia Bedelia books have sold more
than 35 million copies!
