Book Description
Marc Appleman and his 12-year-old son Michael hit the highway on an awesome baseball road trip! Over two weeks, two countries, eight states, and 3,000 miles, the father-son team goes to eight games in six stadiums and visits the baseball, hockey and pro football halls of fame. On a trip filled with adventures, Michael catches balls in Montreal, Detroit and Cleveland. They have a blast sitting with the Bleacher Bums at Wrigley, and they become friends with some diehard Indians fans at Jacobs Field. A highlight of the trip is the induction ceremony of Marc's mentor and good friend, the late sportswriter Joe Falls, at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. But their trip is about a lot more than baseball. It is hot dogs, pizzas, laughs, talks, adventures, and misadventures-the stuff that memories are made of. Dad, Are You Pumped? is about three generations connected by baseball, and how a special game becomes intertwined with family, friendships, and a career.

Moving to Alaska is a novel which is told by the hero of the novel, Ritchie Jenkins the Younger, in moments of reminiscing his travels with his father to Alaska and then alone back to Vermont. Thereafter, there are repeated travels back and forth between Vermont and Alaska.

Stark Raving Dad
Author: Sanderson Dean
Publisher: Running Press Adult
ISBN: 0762493593
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
Finally! The pain of parenting . . . in poetic form! Stark Raving Dad is an illustrated collection of poems (no claims of being Walt Whitman here) that humorously captures fatherly angst in comedic verse and pairs it with "talented" art from the author's own kids. Let's be honest: Most gifts for Dad usually end up being a golf club or a tie. But what about the Dad in desperate need of a laugh? Give him reassurance he's not the only father trying to figure it all out. Over the years Sanderson Dean has turned all his fatherly angst into poetry, accompanied by crudely drawn images by his children. But before your eyes glaze over at the word "poetry," you should know it's more hapless than highbrow. From surviving road trips to being puked on, and from plunging clogged toilets to finding Craisins in the couch cushions, Sanderson covers many of the rarely talked about adventures that make the journey of parenthood so very exciting.
