Zachary's Ball

32 pp. | Candlewick | March, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-0730-4 $$15.99
(4) K-3 When Zachary attends his first big-league baseball game, his father snags a foul ball and gives it to the boy--who instantly finds himself on the pitcher's mound wearing a Red Sox uniform and experiencing the first of a series of fantasy-adventures. Executed in charcoal, the illustrations are stronger than the nostalgic text and effectively convey the magic of the tale.
