A wonderful day at the park.

I thought this was a delightful book. Mr. Janeczko's poetry surprised me by how easily (and well) it captured the essence of the subjects. Ms. Katchen's illustrations fit quite well, adding to the almost nostalgic feel. I say almost because I've sat next to these people, watched them play, or driven the sleepy umbrella operators home after the game. I'd recommend this book for both children and adults. It made me wish that there was more (and that opening day was closer).
