Publisher Description: From the first pitch to the last out and all nine innings between, Douglas Florian's collection of baseball poems brings wordplay, wit, and laughter to America's springtime tradition. Featuring a mean-armed pitcher, a daisy-picking right fielder, and a lightning-swift base stealer, Poem Runs combines irresistible language and Florian's signature child-friendly, bold illustration style in this celebration of the magic of baseball. |
