The Sox respond with their veggie-powered bats and score three runs! Momentum swings back to the Reds before the seventh inning stretch, and they're all tied up in the bottom of the ninth. Will this game need extra innings, or will Apatosaur save the day?Dinosaurs face off in prehistoric sports competitions--from baseball to wrestling and every sport in between! Will the plant-eaters become the champions? Or will the meat-eaters be victorious? Fast-paced, rhyming commentary and exuberant illustrations put readers right in the action.

"Following Dino-Hockey (2007) and Dino-Soccer (2009), Wheeler's latest dino-sports story heads to the baseball diamond, where two teams of prehistoric athletes face off: the Green Sox herbivores and Rib-Eye Reds. Once again, the play-by-play action in the acrylic paintings and the rhyming text ("Green Sox need to change the score. / Their only hope? Apatosaur!") will captivate young baseball fans, while the humor in each incongruous scene will widen the book's audience to sports-ambivalent kids. A final spread hints at the series' next installment: 'Buy your tickets at the court / for Dino-Hoops--next season's sport!'" --Booklist, "Wheeler and Gott already proved they have a winning formula with Dino-Hockey (2007) and Dino-Soccer (2009), and there's plenty for dinosaur/sports fanatics to enjoy in this latest installment (the final page hints at a basketball follow-up). It's a beautiful day in Jurassic Park (ballpark, that is), and the herbivores and carnivores are taking the field for the season's final game. The crowd is enthusiastic--and similarly extinct. Wheeler's sturdy, concise couplets provide a nicely percussive play-by-play: 'Stego rumbles down the line./ Compy calls, "This one is mine!"/ Gloves the ball. Throws him out./That's what baseball's all about!' (The dinosaurs' nicknames are set in contrasting type; a list of their full names can be found in team rosters displayed on the Jumbotron on the first page). Gott nails the drama of high-stakes game with a series of skewed perspectives and never overplays the comedy--his dinosaurs, with their imposing heft and improbably balletic grace, are more than capable of conveying the sublime absurdity of it all." --Publishers Weekly, "Wheeler includes on-the-field plays as well as typical baseball-crowd fun like a manager's tantrum, a seventh-inning stretch, and a visit to the snack bar. Gott's illustrations are masterful at catching the leaping, running action of the battling behemoths and giving each spread a stop-action, 'you are there' feel. . . Libraries looking to satisfy dinosaur lovers as well as sports enthusiasts will find this title an easy sell." --School Library Journal, "[T]he play-by-play action in the acrylic paintings and the rhyming text ("Green Sox need to change the score. / Their only hope?

The rhyming text sweeps youngsters through the game with appropriate baseball idioms peppered throughout. Wheeler includes on-the-field plays as well as typical baseball-crowd fun like a manager's tantrum, a seventh-inning stretch, and a visit to the snack bar. Gott's illustrations are masterful at catching the leaping, running action of the battling behemoths and giving each spread a stop-action, 'you are there' feel. The final page promises a rematch on the basketball court in the next book. Libraries looking to satisfy dinosaur lovers as well as sports enthusiasts will find this title an easy sell." --School Library Journal

    A five year old LOVES this book!

    Dino Baseball is just one of a library of Dinosaur adventures. My grandson LOVES this series books where Dino’s engage in different sports and holidays. He watched the tracking of the package until it arrived and immediately read the book. It’s very funny and he enjoys reading it over and over.
