Slugger

(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Slonim. Catching, throwing, and running the bases doesn't come naturally to a slug, but hard work, practice, and some unique problem-solving land Ollie a spot on the Creepy Crawlers. When the crucial moment arrives, Ollie hits one out of the park and wins it for the team. The illustrations are nothing special, but the predictable story reinforces the benefits of practice and determination.
