"From: Sports Illustrated June 11th 1990" " " “The engaging bear and elephant team introducded in "Frank and Ernest "have this time agreed to manage a baseball team...

."..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.
