Book Description
for This Is the Game by Diane Z. Shore, Owen Smith, and Jessica Alexander
From the Publisher
This is the swish!
as the pitch whizzes by
from the mound to the plate
in the blink of an eye.
From its beginning, as a pickup game played in alleyways, to the fan-filled stadiums of the major leagues, baseball has played a rich role in American history.
In this glorious tribute to our nation's favorite pastime, rich verse and vibrant illustrations bring the game of baseball to action-packed life.
