Book Overview
Boys and girls enthusiastically warm up with special exercises and drills. The players throw the ball back and forth, jog, bat, catch, and pitch. Finally, the players divide up into two teams. The coach, as umpire, makes calls as they catch pop flies, run the bases, and slide feet first into home plate. Practice ends with the kids showing that teamwork makes them better players. Powerful, mixed-media illustrations with dramatic, up-close perspectives interpret the rhythmic text and capture the intensity and exuberance of baseball practice.

The mood and excitement of baseball are nicely captured in this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Let's play ball! Boys and girls are seated in front of their coaches getting ready to "practice skills, warm up, play catch, and learn new drills." Baseball season started on April 9 this year. Are you ready to play? If not you'd better join in with this crowd and get your body ready and skills honed before your first game. Stretch, grab your glove, throw a few warmup balls, grab your friends and join in the fun! "We sit to stretch, our legs in V's, bend our heads down to our knees, We circle arms and twist our backs, count off twenty jumping jacks." The sepia toned, realistic photo-like illustrations spring to life in this book. They are so realistic you could actually count the stitches in a baseball cap if you were so inclined. The mood and the excitement of baseball are nicely captured in both the text and the artwork. The wide-eyed look on the young catcher's face as he about the nab the ball is perfect. This is not a book to learn how to play baseball, nor improve one's skills, but rather a short tale for the baseball enthusiast to enjoy. No doubt about it, Carol Nevius has another winner on her hands!
