Goodnight Baseball

In this rhymed story, a little boy goes to a ballgame, eats hot dogs and watches the home team win. Then he says goodnight to everything baseball-related, from the diamond to popcorn boxes under the stands and, in the end, "goodnight, baseball,/safe in my room." Dahl, who lives in Minneapolis, is the author of more than 100 books for children and young adults. The lively illustrations bring vibrancy to this gentle story.
