Have you always wanted to learn a new language?
Bring the whole family to hear New York Times best-selling author Sally Cook 6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 5, at the Ocean City Free Public Library (1735 Simpson Avenue). Cook will explain the inside language of America’s oldest team sport, baseball.
She will conduct a baseball quiz with fun prizes based on her popular new book How to Speak Baseball: An Illustrated Guide to Ballpark Banter. This stylishly designed little book captures the vibrant, frequently fanciful vocabulary that describes the world of baseball. It’s the perfect book for ages 6 to 96.
Always wanted to know how a book is made? Sally will then present a short slide show of how the same team that made How to Speak Baseball created their gorgeously illustrated book, Hey Batta Batta Swing! The Wild Old Days of Baseball, a zany history of America’s favorite pastime.
Sally will be available for questions and book signings.
