Amelia Bedelia Gets a Break

(4) K-3 I Can Read Book series. Illustrated by Lynne Avril. Young Amelia Bedelia cares for the class hamster, Harry, during school break when he disappears from his habitat. Friends Clay and Dawn help her search, and eventually they find six little surprise additions with "Harriet." Amelia Bedelia's usually humorous literalness is unfortunately lackluster here; still, the sweet twist ending and the dynamic gouache illustrations should engage new readers.
