Title: Who’s on First? It’s Douglas Florian (again!)
Review: I didn’t get to experience baseball much as a kid but after reading the poems in this book I felt I was right there, swinging my bat, stealing a base, living and breathing the action. Mr. Florian loves baseball and this fact comes across like a fast ball in this nimble collection of “poem runs” (rhymes with “home runs”). I couldn’t decide if Mr. Florian was having more fun with the poems, or with his agile illustrations – in the end I decided it was a tie and they’re both winners (as they usually are in all his books).To borrow two words from the back-cover, every kid who’s a baseball FAN-ATIC will find this book FAN-TASTIC.

Title: Take me out to the ball game!
Review: Poem Runs was a hit out of the ball park. From the first pitch to game over, you will be captivated by the detailed descriptions of each specific baseball player’s position. Douglas Florian has a talent for combining his artwork and his descriptive poems to make this a must read for children of all ages. You will definitely have time to read this book while enjoying your hot dogs during the 7th inning stretch.
