Book Overview

by Chris Van Dusen (Author), Chris Van Dusen (Illustrator)

"With all the bases covered -- musical text, entertaining artwork, and surefire subject matter -- this title bats 1,000 for group or lapsit read-alouds." -- School Library Journal

Randy Riley loves two things: science and baseball. When it comes to the solar system, the constellations, and all things robot, Randy is a genius. But on the baseball diamond? Not so much. Then, one night, Randy sees something shocking through his Space Boy telescope: it's a fireball, and it's headed right for his town! Randy does the math, summons all his science smarts, and devises a plan that will save the day in a spectacular way. Once again, with visual humor, dizzying perspectives, perfect pacing, and rollicking rhyme, Chris Van Dusen delivers a hit that will make readers stand up and cheer.
