It was always winter. Year after year, snow covered the factories, fields, and houses. For this was a time when baseball was illegal, and without baseball, spring never came. Nobody knows exactly why - or if - Georgie Radbourn set out to save baseball. Some folks say he was born to be a hero, and some say he was just a kid who happened to be brave. Either way, by bringing back baseball, Georgie brought back a lot of things folks needed. And they hadn't even noticed they needed them - until they were taken away.

The Rain Came Down The Blue Sky Press / Scholastic ISBN 0-439-05021-9 32 pages Ages 3 and up Once upon a sunny day, the sky clouded over, and the rain came down. The chickens squawked, the dog barked, the baby cried, the traffic snarled, the groceries fell, and still, the rain came down. As one noisy event leads to another, the house painter accidentally bonks the barber with his can of paint, and the baker mistakenly pokes the pizza man with his umbrella. Soon the whole block is honking, bickering, and yelling - and then... the rain stops! The sun comes out, and one by one, each character ends up smiling and helping someone else. Here is an engaging story that will brighten the day of any reader - rain or shine. More Books by David Shannon |
