Powell's Staff: New Literature in Translation: June 2022 (0 comment)
June is one of my favorite months, especially here in Portland, where the weather can be beautiful and sunny one minute and a gray downpour with threats of thunder the next. It’s important to always be prepared to take advantage of those rainy afternoons, with a good mug of tea and a great book. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the books in translation released this past month....

Synopsis

One of the most beloved comedy sketches of all time is now a funny picture book for adults, kids, classic comedy fans, and baseball aficionados

"Who's On First?" is one of the great comedy bits of all time--popular not just with fans of Abbott and Costello but also with lovers of baseball and comedy. Now, the classic sketch has been transformed into a priceless picture book for kids of all ages

Follow the mistaken identities, confusion, and lots of laughs as the new baseball catcher, Rabbit, asks coach Bear the names of the other players on their team ("Who's on first. What's on second. I Don't Know's on third."). Full of silly banter and retro-style illustrations, this charming picture book breathes new life into a landmark of sketch comedy--and is sure to delight young readers and their parents.

"The book is stunning dad and Bud would be proud " --Chris Costello, Daughter of Lou Costello

Baseball and comedy fans will love Who’s On First? as they reminisce about Abbott and Costello’s famous comedy bit and enjoy this refreshing new take. The comic adaptation is done in a way that is helpful to young readers and adds a bit of cartoon humor into the mix. I will personally love reading this book over and over, and it is something I will love reading to my son as he grows a little older, perhaps even waiting until he can read it himself and knows a little more about the game of baseball to appreciate it fully. It will be fun to read it along with him out loud so he can get the full comedic effect. But Who’s On First? is not just for young readers, as most baseball fans will especially love this cartoon tribute to the comedy legends.
