نقد و بررسی
Brian Lies continues his bat stories at the baseball park after dark. With cheers, anthems, hits, and strikeouts, the bats shed new light (or darkness) on the American pastime. Teams include the Night Sox, and among the players is Bat Ruth. Chris Sorensen's narration shines with its clear enunciation. His pacing is deliberate, slow enough that listeners have ample opportunity to appreciate Lies's lyrical writing. Listen for the one golden moment when the immortal Casey of Mudville has company on the diamond. A.R. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
Starred review from July 19, 2010
Baseball stadiums have an innate magic, never more so than in the hands of Lies, whose latest has the winged creatures gathering for an epic game, complete with "beenuts and Cricket Jack," and an upside down audience. Smooth, unhurried rhymes illuminate a hidden world where bats, like humans, "feel a magic shift,/ and ride the currents of the game/ as time is set adrift." Each gleaming page is thick with detail, from the bats' first arrival ("We wing from dark to dazzling bright,/ startled by the stunning sight") to the final play. Fans of the other baseball bats will certainly enjoy these ones. Ages 3–7.
