(4) K-3 Illustrated by Glin Dibley. When the Mudville Nine drop to second place, a (gasp) female pitcher is called in. Readers will correctly predict that Joy will triumph on the mound, but the innings hold many pleasures, including rat-a-tat-tat rhymes (well, a few are missing their second "tat") and Joy's innovative methods: she employs techniques from other sports that Dibley captures in his caricaturish illustrations.
