In 1949, SPORT magazine published Lineup for Yesterday, a
collection of poems by Ogden Nash celebrating the greatest
big-league baseball players of the 1800s and early 1900s. Using an
alphabetical approach, the famous wordsmith paid entertaining
tribute to 24 legends of the diamond, encapsulating each in just 4
clever lines. Creative Editions is proud to present this
masterpiece to a new generation of fans, reintroducing icons from
the formative years of professional baseball. The masterful
mixed-media illustrations of C. F. Payne portray these heroes of
summer in their athletic primes in this, the first-ever picture
book publication of Nash s classic.
Ogden Nash is in top form with this rollicking poem about an
aardvark who boards a boat to escape the biblical flood. Arrogant
and vain, Aardvark wins few friends among the other animals
squeezed aboard the crowded vessel--until he uses his tongue to
save the ark and all of its passengers. Nash's wit and whimsy shine
through this re-imagining of Noah's Ark. The delightful
illustrations by Wendy Wilson paired with Nash's quotable verse
will put a twinkle in the eyes of the young and the young-at-heart
alike.
