About this title

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 4–Fans of the national pastime will love this book. It opens to a view of the outside of Howler Stadium, where the home team is about to play the Growlers. Opening the flaps exposes a press-box view of the field, while the flaps themselves tell the story and give the lesser-known verses. Turning the pages leads to one delight after another, such as the octopi taking tickets, the shark advertising "Eat at Fang's," and the lion blatantly ignoring the warning "Do Not Chew On Wall." The paper engineering is well planned with the catcher flying up to grab a pop fly and the Growler batter spinning around and around as he strikes out. Looking at the pages from the back (or top) is fun as well, since all the parts are printed on both sides. The menagerie of fanged, furred, feathered, and ferocious beasts is detailed, colorful, and amusing. For libraries that can keep pop-up books, this one is a great addition.– Bina Williams, Bridgeport Public Library, CT
