Baseball Bob Board Book
"The Ballad of Dinosaur Bob," reproduced in full at the end of the book, begins like this (sing to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne"): "He's Bob, the best old Bob, / the biggest Bob you've ever seen. / He's Mesozoic and heroic, and he's really green." All this is true of Bob, which fans of William Joyce'sDinosaur Bob and His Adventures with the Family Lazardoknow well. In this very short, extremely simple board book, Dinosaur Bob is playing baseball with his friends the Lazardos, when a local team spots him at work and asks him to join them for the first game of the season. He saves the game, everyone's happy, and they sing "The Ballad of Dinosaur Bob." Ta-da! While the story is not geared toward the usual board-book crowd (babies and preschoolers), aficionados of all things Dinosaur Bob will be pleased with this small, sturdy edition. (Ages 4 and older)
