Review
“...Frank and Ernest are an elephant and a bear, respectively who take over the Elmville Mudcats for one game... Frank and Ernest know nothing about the game, but with the help of a dictionary of baseball, they learn about such mysterious words and phrases as cellar, pepper, frozen rope, hot corner, hot dog and can of corn. Kids love this sort of whimsical language, and the book has plenty of it. Which may surprise those who know Day as the author of the wonderful and almost wordless, "Good Dog Carl" books”.

"From School Library Journal February 1990"
"The interepid bear and elephant duo are once again in the business of business-sitting, when an emergency calls, they will run the show for the owner.... Day's rich watercolors nicely caputure the pastoral quality of the game, and young fans will enjoy Frank and Ernest's determined efforts to learn new meanings for old words. It's never too early, after all, to appreciate the poetry of baseball.
"From Booklist March 1st 1990"

About the Author
Alexandra Day is the creator of the popular "Good Dog, Carl" series as well as many other children's books. She lives with her family in Seattle. Of her work she says: "I think that one of the reasons my illustrations have appealed to people is that they can sense my sincerity. I know that marvels exist which are just outside our ordinary experience, but that at any moment we may turn a corner and encounter one of them. Children also believe this, and because they and I have this conviction in common, we, as creator and audience, make good partners."

Paperback. Condition: Fair. 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.
