Change-Up: Baseball Poems

Baseball season! For a kid who loves the sport, everything about it is important. Pitching, batting, sliding, winning, losing, Grandpas knuckleballs, superstitious teammates, cheering spectatorseven the infield dust . . . each has a place in the players life. And all are captured here in Fehlers perceptive, exuberant poetry and Donald Wus lively illustrations. Readers who play baseball will recognize a kindred spirit in the young narrator whose voice is heard in this book and will share his pleasure in every aspect of the game. Sports fans may even discover that theyre poetry fans, too.
