Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the weight of high expectations or the sting of a public mistake. While Casey is a legendary figure on the baseball field, his story is ultimately one of overconfidence and the humbling reality of failure. Through rhythmic, Victorian-era verse, the poem explores how pride can lead to a fall, but it does so with a wink and a nod that makes the embarrassment feel survivable. It is an excellent choice for children ages 5 to 12 who need to see that even the 'mighty' have bad days. By reading this together, you can normalize the fact that missing the big shot or failing the test is a part of the human experience, wrapped in a classic piece of American history.
