Summary
One day, Eleanor goes out to her yard to harvest corn. She sees a bluebird and greets it. While Eleanor is picking corn, Hopsalot and CJ show up and ask her to play baseball with them. Eleanor tells them that she will play with them once she is finished with her chore, and Hopsalot and CJ go to invite Kisha too. Once Eleanor is finished harvesting corn, she says goodbye to the bluebird and meets up with her friends to play ball. Eleanor hits the ball with a bat and starts to run around the bases. For a moment, the ball appears to be missing, but then the bluebird shows up with the ball in its mouth. Eleanor and the others cheer for the bird.

At the end of the book, there is a list of words sorted by which pair of letters they contain. Then there is a coloring page of Eleanor and the bluebird which asks the player to color certain parts of the picture red, yellow, or blue.
