Amelia Bedelia & Friends #6 - Herman Parish
On Monday morning, every single girl in Mrs. Shauk’s classroom found an invitation on her desk. Except for Amelia Bedelia. She didn’t need to invite herself.
Amelia Bedelia and her friends talked about the sleepover all week, until Friday finally rolled around and the sleepover was in full swing.
The back door flew open, and Amelia Bedelia’s mother stepped outside holding a tray full of treats. Is everyone ready for dessert?
she called.
Yes!
cried Amelia Bedelia and her friends.
Are we having s’mores?
Daisy asked eagerly.
We haven’t had dessert yet!
said Amelia Bedelia. How can we have some more?
Not some more,
said Daisy. S’mores!
Amelia Bedelia’s mother set down the tray full of marshmallows, chocolate bars, and graham crackers on a log by the campfire.
You can’t have some more s’mores until you have your first one,
Amelia Bedelia said. So let’s go find some roasting sticks!
Amelia Bedelia and her friends scattered, everyone searching the backyard for the perfect stick to toast a marshmallow. It had to be the just the right length. Too long and your marshmallow might fall off into the fire. Too short would put you way too close to the flames.
After getting into a tug-of-war with her dog, Finally, over what both of them thought was the perfect stick, Amelia Bedelia joined her friends around the campfire. She gazed at their faces, glowing in the firelight. She had invited all the girls in her class to the backyard sleepover, and to her delight, everyone was there. Even Angel, who didn’t like sleepovers very much. And Penny, who was going to have to wake up super early for her Saturday morning science class, had been determined to come anyway. Candy was the most excited. Amelia Bedelia guessed she hadn’t gone to a lot of backyard campout sleepovers in Chicago, where she used to live.
Joy, who liked her marshmallows only lightly toasted, finished her s’more first. With a contented sigh, she leaned against a log and looked up at the sky. Hey, I see the Big Dipper!
she said, pointing. That’s my favorite constellation.
Holly shook her head. Don’t you remember from science class?
she said. What Ms. Garcia said was that the Big Dipper is actually an asterisk.
Heather laughed. No it isn’t,
she said. "An asterisk is a symbol shaped like a star. It’s used to note something in writing.* Ms. Garcia was talking about a group of stars, usually part of a constellation. She called it an asterism."
That’s right,
said Dawn, nodding. It’s part of the constellation called Ursa Major.
That means ‘great bear’ in Latin,
added Angel. People back then thought that it was shaped like a big bear.
Amelia Bedelia squinted at the night sky. She could definitely make out the bowl and the handle of the Big Dipper. But a bear? She just didn’t see it. Maybe a squirrel, if she almost closed her eyes.
Amelia Bedelia’s mother poked at the fire with a stick. Red-hot embers drifted into the air, and Amelia Bedelia watched them, transfixed. The Big Dipper can help you find the North Star,
Amelia Bedelia’s mother said. See the two stars on the outside of the Big Dipper’s bowl? They point to the North Star. It’s the brightest star in the Little Dipper.
That reminded Amelia Bedelia of something. The North Star is also called Polaris!
she exclaimed. That was the name of her cabin at Camp Echo Woods, where she had gone last summer.
Now Amelia Bedelia’s father joined them. You’re right,
he said. And did you know that from Earth, Polaris doesn’t appear to move? The rest of the sky in the Northern Hemisphere seems to circle around it as the Earth rotates. That’s because the Earth’s axis points almost directly to Polaris.
