Battle on! Head to the bowling alley 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 instantly at home. Pizza ... giant crashing noises ... even 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 gets 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 winner in this tale of a lovably rambunctious child and his doting dad.
