(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sue Ramá. The narrator's first baseball game is as much about what his (somewhat distracted) dad buys him--and what is spilled--as it is about watching the action. The boy's surprise at the stadium's enormity rings true; less convincing is the narrative voice, which strains to sound childlike. Watercolor and digital collage illustrations convey a child's pleasure at a day spent with Dad.
