Amelia Bedelia Hits the Trail

(4) K-3 I Can Read Book series. Illustrated by Lynne Avril. A young Amelia Bedelia goes on a hike with her class to find items for the classroom nature table. The scenario offers plenty of opportunities ("hit the trail"; "take a hike") to exploit her signature literal-mindedness, but some gags are carried out clumsily in the easy-to-read sentences. The light-footed art captures the rosy-cheeked kids' enjoyment from being in nature.
