| Kindergarten-Grade 4—In this winning picture book, Gutman revisits and updates Thayer's classic baseball poem. This time around (and much to everyone's surprise), Casey hits a fly ball that soars out of the park and keeps on going. It crosses the Atlantic Ocean and has an unfortunate encounter with a tower in Pisa before continuing on to the Sphinx in Egypt. Streaking through time, it passes dinosaurs (and sends them to their ultimate fate) and astronauts before heading back to Earth. The ride is uproarious from start to finish, and Gutman's broadly humorous verse hits all the right notes. This Casey is perfect for his role: smug, dense, and deliciously ripe for his comic send-up. "His arms, his legs, his neck, his lips-his teeth had muscles too./They rippled from his little toe up to his eyes of blue." Johnson and Fancher's paintings have a playfully nostalgic look, with a mix of textured papers and newsprint splashed across the surfaces of uniforms. Though "there's still no joy in Mudville," this is a fun read-aloud, and it will have baseball fans of all ages cheering. Gutman has reaffirmed the appeal of Thayer's classic. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Both my boys, ages 4 and 5, fell in love with Casey at Bat last year while listening to it on the Poetry Speaks to Children CD. Since then we have purchased several versions of the poem and my 5 year old son has even memorized most of the poem, which has sparked a love of baseball.
When we stumbled upon this book I immediately purchased it and am certainly not disappointed. My sons were enamored by the illustration of the Might Casey and his very strong, intimidating demeanor. They were delightfully taken by the women; one who thought he was handsome and one who thought he was a jerk. What expression! The travels the ball goes on is exciting and adds adventure to an otherwise predictable outcome.
I would recommend Casey at Bat to those wishing to introduce their children to drama and excitement of baseball and definitely follow-up with this very exciting sequel. |
