Randy Riley's Really Big Hit

Randy Riley's Really Big Hit
by Chris Van Dusen

Randy Riley loves baseball and science.   He's a terrible baseball player who can never hit the ball, the is a genius when it comes to science.  When he spies a fireball heading straight towards his town, he cleverly devises a plan that combines his love of robots and baseball to save everyone!    Will his plan work?

As with most of Van Dusen's books, the fun, rhyming text is paired with bright, engaging illustrations.   Don't be surprised to catch familiar objects from other books in his illustrations - I recently read this aloud to a first grade class and one student spied a model version of the car from If I Built a Car on Randy's shelf.
