Review

Oh dear...Amelia Bedelia loves her yard and her parents are going to have a yard/garage sale! Can she keep them from selling both her yard and garage?This funny, level one book, with short sentences and familiar words, will delightfully entertain beginner readers.

Amelia is up to her usual antics that include digging up her Mom's flowers for a yard sale customer who is looking for plants to literally throwing in a yardstick when requested. Amelia and her family work their way through the sale to successful clean out the clutter.

The plentiful illustrations are colorful and playful and work well with the simple text.

Another winner in the Amelia Bedelia series.

Overall Book Score: very good
