Rules of the Game: Baseball Poems

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by John Sandford. Maddox has a sophisticated understanding of baseball, which she conveys in poems about various aspects of the game: "The Strike Zone," "Beanball," "Double Play," etc. Even the most poetry-resistant ballplayers may be lured by her metaphoric description in "Home Run": "Anything less is a slice. / Hungry, you want the whole pie." Sandford's well-placed textured pencil drawings add motion and detail.
