Batter up! Join Kate and Sheila and their special guest, Jonah, as they recap Skinnybones by Barbara Park. Alex Frankovitch is an undersized uncoordinated sixth grader who has an oversized funny bone. When he tries to triumph over T.J. Stoner, the best of the best in baseball, all Alex can think to do is yell, “Booga booga” to distract the baseball star.
“Every single year, I am always the smallest kid on the team. I mean it. For the first five years of my life, I thought I was a leprechaun.”---Alex
When his coach tells him to bunt he thinks bunt means to throw up. He wonders how his coach can expect him to throw up on command. : )
Hey, batter batter! Are you ready to swing into a funny read-aloud? Alex could not be compared to Honest Abe. His parents never use the phrase, “Liar, liar, pants on fire,” but believe me they could! They choose to let consequences teach Alex a thing or two.
See if Alex’s wit can help him win the Kitty Fritters commercial contest!
Happy Reading!
