Pre-Owned Frank and Ernest Play Ball (Unknown) 059042548X 9780590425483

Good Dog, Carl creator Alexandra Day's dynamic duo Frank, a bear, and Ernest an elephant, are back, and this time must master the language of baseball during their stint as managers of the Elmville Mudcats- a minor league team. The animal pals have their work cut our for them; the team is in the cellar (in last place in the league) and Frank and Ernest have to do everything- sell tickets, run batting practice, announce the game to the fans, and more! But once they learn the right language, it all seems easy... Soon expressions like "fly hawk"- a skillful outfielder; "smoke artist"- a pitcher who throws lots of fastballs; and "can of corn"- a ball that's been hit so high it can easily be caught- no longer sound strange to the animal friends. Readers will cheer for Frank and Ernest whose skill with the lingo makes for a great day at the ballpark! First published in 1990, we welcome the opportunity to re-present this Alexandra Day book full of the secret language children love, as well as a story of cooperation, and friendship.
