What's Who's on First? About

Publisher Summary

“Miscommunications have never been so much fun” than in this laugh-out-loud picture book that will delight classic comedy fans, baseball lovers, and readers of all ages–based on the beloved Abbott and Costello comedy sketch (USA Today) “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
