That lovable and easily-confused maid, Amelia Bedelia is back for another adventure in a Level 2 I Can Read Book. Level 2 books are for children who are beginning to read on their own, but may still need help now and then.
Although not as much of a rib-tickler as some of the Amelia Bedelia books, Play Ball, Amelia Bedelia, is still a fun book for children. It is a great book for a read-aloud or for children to read on their own.

This is also another Amelia Bedelia story that I enjoyed reading because it takes place on baseball field. It fun to because of all the things Amelia Bedelia did during the game. Also thin things she prepared for the game.

I love all of the Amelia Bedelia books and have ever since i first started reading them when i was younger. This one is one of my top picks because of its classic humor throughout the story. I always love how Amelia takes everything so literally and in this book, when she does it is just pure comedy. This book is easy for the reader to relate to and stay engaged because it is about baseball and that iterests this age group. This is a good read for 1-4th grade.

Ideal for grades 1-3, this book uses simple language and yet another hilarious Amelia Bedelia story that takes place on the baseball field. Amelia stands and plays for a sick player and oh the interesting things that occur! When Amelia is told to run home, she literally runs home! Nobody plays ball like Amelia Bedelia but can she save the day and help the Grizzlies win their game??
I usually find Amelia Badelia books fun and entertaining to read, but this particular one was not as enjoyable as I imagined it to me. The humor was pretty dry and the book did not explain the jokes and instead just moved the story right along, which I think would be confusing for younger students. The story is pretty fast paced and moves right along. The illustrations are very simple and only use a few colors. I think that the pictures could be more text enriched and colorful to interest childr...more
Baseball has been revolutionized by Amelia Bedelia, and readers will be quite entertained! This story tells us that even if confused or unsure of something, keeping a positive attitude and trying your best will pay off in the end. Any Amelia Bedelia book is a great one, and this one will keep the audience laughing.
I read this book to my brother and he laughed so hard. When Amelia was supposed to tag Jack she put a name tag on Jack. Also when the team said to meet the ball to bat she ran to the ball and got hit. I think this book is real funny and Amelia can never do anything right!
Amelia Bedelia takes on playing ball! Oh what will she do now? As always, she keeps young readers gussing as to what she'll get into this time. Predictable in the sense that she's going to do something wrong, bad wrong, but keeps readers interested to find out what.
I love these books. They always make me laugh and this book was no exception. She always seems to never understand and I think kids who were all knowing about baseball would think this book was funny if read the right way.
Even though Amelia is always doing the wrong predictable and laughable thing, it would be interesting to have students make their own predictions as the story goes on. Students can also suggest what Amelia should do instead.
This book was so adorable and funny. Amelia Bedelia is a hilarious woman who takes everything literally; which makes her learning the game of baseball hysterical! It's a very easy and quick read that everyone would love!
Amelia Bedelia tries really hard to learn the game of baseball. She is quite funny and doesn't understand the language of baseball terms. She takes things literally like stealing home base. Easy read for kids and emjoyable.
Amelia Bedelia is so silly, she does things wrong and she doesn't play ball right. She's trying to be helpful. I like Amelia Bedelia books because they are funny and really silly.
My favorite part is when she wasn't listening when she needed to have a home run.

This is an awesome book to do an activity on predicting. This can also be used to teach students how to do text-to-text connections, etc. The students will love this book because it is both engaging and also funny. This book will make them want to listen to the book and also make connections between Amelia Bedelia and themselves.
This book is great for children who loves sports, baseball in particular. They will have a fit when they see how Amelia translates the idea or "running home" or "stealing second base."
Mommy says: The audience needs to understand the basics of baseball before they read this book, including some of the lingo, such as what it means to tag a player or steal a base.
Amelia Bedelia's crazy self getting into crazy situations. When they told her to steal second base, she picked up the base and ran away with it. Awww memories from childhood.
I LOVE Amelia Bedelia books. They always made me laugh when I was little and they still do. Such good books to show how fun reading can be! Grade 1st through 3rd.
Amelia Bedelia is back, and this time shes playing one of my favorite sports: Baseball! nothing like a good ole ball game and the silly antics of Amelia Bedelia. ^_^
Just what you'd expect: Amelia misunderstands lots of baseball terms ("stealing bases", "run home") but her native talents (including for baking) save the day.
I love all the Amelia Bedelia books because they are extremely funny. They keep me entertained, especially this one because i love baseball!
I read this book as a kid so I really had to put that I read this book. One of my favorites. Great for kids (:
Although not as silly as some of the other books, Play Ball, Amelia Bedelia, my son and I still enjoyed this boook.

I devoured A.B. back in the day. Who was cooler, Amelia or Ramona? I say Ramona, but Amelia isn't too far behind.
This book is cute, but if your child doesn't know much about baseball he or she won't get a lot of the puns.
this book shows that everyone can try even icf they do not succeed at sports, who says you have to be great
Story full of humor and fun. Great for the kids to learn about figurative language!
My brother has this book and he said that this book is very good to read.
This Level 2 early reader featuring the literal Amelia Bedelia is illustrated by Wallace Tripp. These are different than the Amelia Bedelia images I am used to, but still fun and quirky just as is she. The short Amelia Bedelia adventure is good on community and great for a boy reader. This is another of the three books included in the Amelia Bedelia 50th Anniversary Collection.
