Music is printed on the endpapers.
Paxton's children's song is successfully translated into a lively picture book complete with musical arrangement on the endpapers. Brightly colored pictures feature rip-roaring action and high jinks that will keep little sluggers laughing all the way to home plate. Schmidt creates bright, exuberant watercolors, the perfect accompaniment for Merriam's joyful music. This is indeed a collection to hold close and jump on the bed with. There are 35 pages, and nearly as many poems.
