The Big Bat by Anne Jewell

Anne Jewell, the mom who runs Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, is sure to hit a grand slam homer with her first children’s book, The Big Bat. This full color picture book spotlights the World’s Biggest Baseball Bat, which stands 120 feet tall, weighs 68,000 pounds, and is the iconic symbol of the home of Louisville Slugger.

The Big Bat is the story of Katie and her little brother Ace, who arrive outside Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory and are captivated by the World’s Biggest Baseball Bat. Katie wants to take a photo of it, but it’s too big! As she and Ace try to get the best shot, they team up with dinosaurs, jellybeans, jockeys and more. And while the adventure is unfolding, readers are engaged with some zany yet educational math to illustrate just how big the Big Bat is!
