Casey At The Bat, written by Ernest Lawrence Thayer, illustrated by Christopher Bing, 2000, New York: Scholastic Inc. (ISBN 0-439-33168-4)
Awards: Caldecott honor book
Author website:N/A
Illustrator website: http://www.christopherbing.com/Site/Welcome_.html
Media Used: Unknown (full color) with photographs
Annotation:
This poem tells the story of a baseball player who was cheered on by the crowd, only to strike out in the end.
Personal Reaction:
When I finished the poem, my reaction was "that was it....?" I find it odd that they wrote a song/book about someone who misses the ball. The whole poem, I was expecting Casey to save the game, just like the audience was expecting. The end was rather anticlimatic.
