Poem Runs: Baseball Poems and Paintings

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