The Dog That Called the Pitch

38 pp. | Little | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-316-14207-7
(3) K-3 The popular sports story writer adds humor and a dog with ESP to the usual baseball mix in another book about Mike and his dog Harry. Mike is dumbfounded when he realizes the new umpire can hear Mike's mental communications with his dog. Their telepathic connection saves the day when the ump breaks his glasses. With plenty of illustrations, the text tells a fast-paced story, just right for newly independent readers.
