Fall is all mixed up in this silly book from Bob Raczka! Can you find his mistakes in the words and pictures?

It had been only twenty-four hours since Mighty Casey struck out, plunging fans of the Mudville team into gloom and despair. But a new game day dawned, and Casey once again proved his might with a homer in the eighth. The Mudville nine took a one-run lead, but in the bottom of the ninth, their hurler walked three straight.Bases loaded and the starting pitcher spent, the Mudville manager was not bullish about his bullpen. With the game on the line, he called for rookie Joy Armstrong to take the mound. Could she bring joy to Mudville again—and prove that a girl can play ball as well as any boy?

Un libro que habla de la creatividad y la necesidad de comprensión.A Nico le encanta dibujar. Lleva su cuaderno y sus colores a todos lados y dibuja lo que otros no ven, como el sonido que hacen las cosas o el calor que siente en la cara. Él deja que el mundo lo inspire y entonces pone a trabajar sus colores. Sin embargo, los demás no comprenden sus dibujos y esperan ver el carrito de los helados cuando él les muestra el ruido de las campanas. A pesar de que los demás dicen que entienden cuando les explica, él sabe que no es así. Esto entristece a Nico, pero un día llega alguien que parece ver exactamente lo que él dibuja.
