Randy Riley's Really Big Hit

32 pp. | Candlewick | February, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-4946-3 $15.99
(3) K-3 Randy Riley, boy genius, is much better at math than baseball. When he discovers a giant fireball heading toward his town, he prepares for his biggest at-bat yet. Through meticulous calculations, Randy builds a mammoth robot to hit his first home run and save the day. The rhyme is spot-on, while the rich gouache illustrations reflect the story's inventiveness.
