Illustrated by
Frank Morrison.
This cheerful title follows a small, thumb-sucking duck who smacks a home run to lift his team to victory. Transitions from one page to the next can be disorientingly abrupt; still, young baseball fans might well identify with Thumby's success. Morrison's textured illustrations are energetic and colorful. A few "Batting Tip" text boxes are included.
