A Ticket to the Pennant: A Tale of Baseball in Seattle

32 pp. | Sasquatch/Little Bigfoot | April, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-63217-003-3 $17.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by John Skewes. Huey has lost his ticket to the Rainiers' last game in the series for the Pacific Coast League pennant. He races through Seattle, chatting with neighbors and catching snippets of the game on the radio during his search. The nostalgic story about the importance of baseball to a community gets bogged down in tedious game details; Skewes's vintage-style illustrations provide a glimpse into 1955 Seattle.
