PICTURE BOOKS
Paxton, Tom

The Jungle Baseball Game

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Karen Lee Schmidt. The hippos challenge the monkeys to a baseball game, and to everyone's surprise, the hippos win. Paxton's children's song is successfully translated into a lively picture book complete with musical arrangement on the endpapers. The humor in Schmidt's bright illustrations--monkeys and hippos cavort across the pages waving their arms and tripping over their feet--perfectly suits the song.
