Other editions of book Albert's Ballgame

It is springtime in Pleasant Valley, home of Albert the duck, the hero of several previous books by Leslie Tryon, including Albert's Thanksgiving and Alberts Alphabet. What is the industrious Albert involved in this time? Springtime is the opening season for America's favorite pastime. It's time to play ball, and Albert turns his energies to coaching the local team. There are beanballs and knuckleballs, fly balls and foul balls and maybe even a home run in a game full of the joys and mishaps that all such games entail. Leslie Tryon's artwork is full of Spring Valley's familiar friends as well as heartwarming detail that places the reader smack in the middle of the park. An outing to be cherished.

Play Ball! It's opening day, and everyone in Pleasant Valley is at the Old Field for the first game of the baseball season. They pitch beanballs and mean balls; they hit fly balls and sky balls; they catch curve balls and swerve balls -- and in the stands they even do the Wave! Will Albert the duck's team win? It doesn't matter -- everyone's there to have fun, and no one will have more fun than the reader, smack dab in the middle of the ballpark in Leslie Tryon's joyous tribute to the national pastime.
