"Casey at the Bat" by Patricia Polacco is a vibrant retelling of the classic poem by Ernest Lawrence Thayer. This illustrated story captures the excitement of a small-town baseball game where the local hero, Casey, is the star player. Despite the intense atmosphere and the hopes of the fans riding on him, Casey strikes out in a dramatic turn of events. The narrative emphasizes themes of perseverance, disappointment, and the unpredictability of sports. With beautiful illustrations and a heartwarming tone, this rendition invites readers to experience the highs and lows of baseball and the spirit of the game.
