Bookroo's summary

Mitchell, a lively four-year-old, loves knocking things down. When his dad takes him to a bowling alley, Mitchell is thrilled by the chaos and fun. But as his dad scores strikes with ease, Mitchell's excitement turns to determination. Can he master the game and perform his own victory dance? Join Mitchell on this energetic adventure filled with laughter, challenges, and the quest for a perfect strike.

From the publisher

Battle on! Head to the lanes for another hilarious, high-energy story as four-year-old Mitchell and his obliging dad strike a winning deal. Mitchell liked to knock things down.That’s just how he rolled. One Saturday, when Mitchell almost knocks down his dad, his dad catches him and puts him in the car. And when they step into the bowling alley, Mitchell feels right at home. Pizza! Giant crashing noises! Special shoes! But as Mitchell picks up the biggest ball and quickly learns the word gutter, and when Dad does a little kick with his leg and earns a big X on the scoreboard, Mitchell starts to get peevish. How can Mitchell get a chance to do a steamin’-hot-potato-dance too? With wit, warmth, and comedic charm, Hallie Durand and Tony Fucile roll another strike with this tale of a lovably rambunctious child and his doting dad.
