For the Love of Books
Wednesday, May 29, 2013
Hey, y'all! This month is going by so stinkin' fast. I thought that I'd better pop in here to share my monthly For the Love of Books pick, before it completely gets away from me. The story I have chosen, for you all, today is written for children ages four to eight and fittingly, for the season upon us, boasts a baseball theme.
Randy Riley's Really Big Hit, written and illustrated by Chris Van Dusen, is the story of a kid genius who just so happens to not be so good at baseball and how he saves his town, in just nineteen days, from a massive fireball, with his very first home run. It is written in a playful rhyme and beautifully illustrated in amazing, retro, cartoon-like detail. I also love that it promotes acceptance of people of all kinds and abilities.
