*Thanks to HarperCollins for providing a copy for review. This is another of the three books included in the Amelia Bedelia 50th Anniversary Collection. The short Amelia Bedelia adventure is good on community and great for a boy reader. These are different than the Amelia Bedelia images I am used to, but still fun and quirky just as is she. This Level 2 early reader featuring the literal Amelia Bedelia is illustrated by Wallace Tripp. *Thanks to HarperCollins for providing copy for review included in the 50th Anniversary Library set.* The illustrations in this one are by Barbara Siebel Thomas and I believe they might be my favorite version of Amelia Bedelia next to Fritz Siebel.

It's one that makes you cringe and grin all at the same time. Here Amelia Bedelia and Cousin Alcolu help to prepare a garden wedding shower and both are of the same typical Amelia Bedelia literalism. 'High-interest stories for developing readers.' Amelia Bedelia and the Surprise Shower is interesting an includes a family member of hers that I had not met before. This one about a wedding shower is a new one for me and included in the Amelia Bedelia 50th Anniversary Library, it's a box set including three individual ICR! titles, all Level 2. We are fast coming to like the more and more early reader stories we're finding with Amelia Bedelia. *Thanks to HarperCollins for providing a copy for review.* This is also included in the 50th Anniversary collection. It is vibrant and fun for the budding reader and has more images added by the original illustrator's daughter who also colored his original green and black illustrations. This special 50th anniversary edition of the very first book restores the original text, page design, jacket, and palette of the original volume. That is what we have here with the original illustrations featuring added full color and extra detail. 'Amelia Bedelia' was first published in 1963. My favorite I Can Read! books are the one's that take a great children's book and put it into the I Can Read! format. It's been so long since I read it that I forgot about the pie, (how is that possible?) but now it brings so much more meaning to the young Amelia Bedelia's books. I read the snippet version of Amelia Bedelia in the The 20th Century Children's Book Treasury: Celebrated Picture Books and Stories to Read Aloud. My edition is the 50th Anniversary Library.
