K.C. AT THE BAT is a new story that follows the tradition of the original 19th-century verse, "Casey at the Bat." It tells of a baseball game between teams representing two fictional neighboring towns, somewhere in a rural part of Texas. The storyline is not limited to a mere half-inning of play. In K.C. AT THE BAT, author David W. Coleman projects the magic of the original "Casey" format over a full, nine-inning ballgame. It is a lively and entertaining account of baseball action in the familiar, iambic pentameter form. K.C. AT THE BAT is a work that can be shared by both adults and children. It is a book that a parent can read aloud to a child, that a child can learn to read on his or her own, and that a child can also read aloud back to his or her parents. K.C.AT THE BAT, while entertaining, can also be used to broaden the vocabulary – and thus, the knowledge – of any child reader, or even an adult!
