New Picture Book this week:

Dino-baseball  by Lisa Wheeler

In DINO-BASEBALL, the plant-eating Green Sox face off with the Rib-Eye Reds and baseball won't be the same again! The game is a pitcher's duel as it's tied "zip to zip" - that is until the Green Sox's manager goes "snout to snout" with the dodo umpire - and gets booted from the game! But with their veggie-powered bats the Sox score three runs. Tied up in the bottom of the ninth - can Apatosaur save the day by saving the game? "Take Me Out to The Ballgame" takes on a new meaning as this story written in playful rhyme takes reader into the ballgame with the Green Sox. From fans plucking the ball out of sky to bats smacking and splitting - the reader is sure to enjoy every page of DINO-BASEBALL.
