Good Sports: Rhymes about Running, Jumping, Throwing, and More

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Chris Raschka. In typical Prelutsky fashion, these poems capture the energy and enthusiasm of their subjects. The silly, often ironic poems are coupled with Raschka's gloriously free-form watercolor and ink paintings, which further enliven the verse. From Frisbee to fastballs, the poems frequently celebrate the optimistic underdog--"We're down only ten, / And may win this game yet."
