“A home-run effort.” —Publisher’s Weekly

Patricia Polacco’s spirited illustrations capture all the fun and action-packed drama of Thayer’s immortal ballad.
 
“The poem is launched with bright, bold illustrations that milk all the humor from the situation…Fresh and funny, this rendition should attract a whole new audience to the poem.” —Booklist

This was the exact copy I was needing for this ballad. The HUGE problem was that it came with a torn cover. While I can tape this, it is very sad that I paid money for something that was already torn up and suppose to be new.

Good adaptation of this classic poem for kids. The illustrator adds a beginning and end to the story to make it better for kids to follow. My son is named Casey and he loves baseball so he wants to read this all the time.

This is a great introduction to quality, thoughtful literature. It is a great little allegory. The art is also quality and amusing while sensitive to the time period. So it is entertaining and culturally significant. Amazon delivery experience was good.

I think it was creative and interesting. I like how the suspense was building; but it was depressing how he didn't hit the ball. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone into baseball and poetry. Also if you like sad endings this would be the book for you.

This book is classic in both the prose and the illustrations. This summer (June, 2016) I read it to 300 primary students and had a small group of them act it out. They loved it. To me this was true evidence that the 1888 ballad is the greatest baseball poem/ballad ever written.

Rip off. I ordered the Kindle and go the poem, which I could have had for free by going online. I wanted the visuals to show a child. Nice work you thieves. Keep my dollar. It paid for this review.
