Batter Up Wombat

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lynn Munsinger. A perpetually losing, all-small-animal baseball team is excited when a big wombat shows up to play. Alas, Wombat is more like Amelia Bedelia when it comes to the rules of the game (hit a fowl?), but his super-digging skills excel when a tornado strikes. The contrived conclusion lets down the promising premise, but the dialogue and line-and-watercolor pictures are lively.
