Celebrated children's poet J. Patrick Lewis takes Ernest Thayer's classic baseball poem "Casey at the Bat" and parodies it with signature wordplay and funny images to create a wonderful read aloud. Amiko Hirao's striking cut-paper art brings to life animals of all kinds, from octopi to hippopotami, as they take the field in the final game of the World Series.
