This poetry book is filled with 15 different poems describing the different things you would see on a baseball field. The first poem is about warming up and stretching, then the poems go more into detail about the different positions and people you would find on a baseball field. The illustrations are very well done too. They are full of color and they look childish like a child actually painted them.

I would consider this poetry book informational because if someone did not know a lot about baseball they would be able to learn a good amount of information from this book. Some examples would be like what the umpire does, the different types of pitches the pitcher uses, and the different ways a baseball can be used. The poems in this poetry book describe the positions of the pitcher, catcher, first baseman, second baseman, shortstop, third basemen, and right fielder. It also has poems describing a base stealer, an umpire, and a slugger hitter. The author makes the information come across in a fun way for younger students. The poems rhyme and are very straightforward. Some of the stanzas have words that are moving up and down the page so that is fun for the readers to help them visualize what the stanza is describing.
