Illustrated by
Steven Kellogg.
Clorinda the cow dreams of playing baseball for the Bosstown Red Hats, but a Bosstown scout taps Clorinda's protégé, Deke, instead. Thanks to a dust-stirring windstorm, Clorinda gets a chance to shine in the World Series. The story line is a bit convoluted, but once the rhyming text hits its stride readers will be swept up in the excitement. Kellogg's distinctive illustrations bat one thousand.
