Illustrated by
Amiko Hirao.
Inspired by "Casey at the Bat," rhyming text describes how Tulip the tutu-wearing hippo wins the World Series for the New York Pets, thus disappointing Boston Beasts fans. Hirao's busy, energetic illustrations capture the excitement of the action. Lewis's dense and tongue-twisting text, arrhythmic at times, relies on lingo and references only seasoned baseball fans will appreciate.
