Just in time for spring training! Don't take Big Dog Bill out to the ballgame! This hilarious Step 1 early reader is about a dog who loves T-ball! Well, he loves the ball.
Jack and Jill bring Big Dog Bill to their T-ball game. Crack! The moment the ball is hit, Big Dog Bill can be counted on to steal it, and hilarity ensues as everyone tries to catch him. Once Jill spies a hot dog cart, a bright idea to save the daypops into her head.

Step 1 Readers feature big type and easy words for children who know the alphabet and are eager to begin reading. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story.
