Summary: Morton is easily bored playing baseball, especially in the outfield. His imagination starts running wild...literally! Morton just can't pay attention to the game. His mind takes him to a place far away from the field. The jungle!
The vocabulary in this book is not very challenging which provides a great opportunity to focus on describing Morton's character. He is: creative, distractible, imaginative, and a daydreamer. Idioms such as heading the clouds or out to lunch would also be great ways to introduce figurative language.
