Mitchell Goes Bowling by Hallie Durand illustrated by Tony Fucile*

I love these father-son books by Ms. Durand!
Once again, this clever father takes his son's high energy and channels it into something productive.  Smashing things in the house and being destructive-the solution?  Bowling!
The illustrations are hilarious and portray the wonderful personalities and the thoughts of the characters.
A great book to read before your child goes bowling for the first time.  You could talk about all the aspects of what happens in the bowling as you read this book (Mitchell picks out shoes and a ball; the ball return; the slippery lane!!!; the air that one can dry hands on; the scoreboard; the gutter etc.)
*Highly recommend.
