| Reworking Ernest Thayer's poem Casey at the Bat for Little Leaguers, Preller (Along Came Spider) and Cordell (Righty & Lefty) knock out a spirited celebration of a team with the right attitude, if not skills. The Delmar Dogs have not had a good season: Yes, it's true, the Dogs had guts,/ and the Dogs had heart;/ but catching the baseball, well/ that was the hardest part. Even on a team of misfits one player stood out: Casey Jenkins (the worst by far, no doubt). But it's Casey who proclaims, during a game that seems as doomed as the rest, The game is not yet done! spurring his team on to their first victory. Preller's couplets are full of clever wordplay and humor (When Jinn Lee clubbed a homer,/ the fans stood and cheered./ The Dogs scored at last./ Said Lee, 'That's, like, sooo weird'Â ). Set against ample white space, Cordell's endearingly geeky kids take center stage (mid-game distractions include tree-climbing, a bee sting and a bathroom break on the left field fence). It's hard to envision a reader who won't take to these underdogs. Ages 4–8. (Mar.)

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Mighty Casey is an adorable, funny, rhyming take on the sometimes dour classic tale of a bumbling ball players. This team of misfits will appeal to anyone who has ever participated in or watched a children's sports team. The incompetence of the players is humorous, and the drawings bring the team of lovable losers to life. Children will be thrilled with the silly scenes, particularly the one of the boy peeing on a fence(!), and will cheer at the winning ending. |
