customer reviews

Robert Kinerk’s and beloved artist Steven Kellogg’s Clorinda returns to play ball!

Clorinda the irrepressible cow is back! This time the bovine’s at bat for her favorite team, the Red Hats of BossTown. And the rival team is in trouble…because when Clorinda steps up to the plate—it’s a win for the home team for sure!

Whimsical, rhyming text from Robert Kinerk paired with humorously detailed illustrations from acclaimed illustrator Steven Kellogg,makes for a charming tale of teamwork that reinforces the importance of self esteem.
