"The Rule of Three by Heather Murphy Capps. Full-color illustration. A boy wearing a baseball uniform stands on a pitcher’s mound and winds up to throw the ball as wisps of white smoke swirls around him. He has light brown skin and short, curly dark hair. His body faces the reader, with his left leg raised at the knee and the pitcher’s glove on his left hand covering his right hand. The smoke curls in large swoops around, in front of, and above him. The boy’s uniform consists of a white shirt and knee-length pants, dark shoes and dark socks that go up to the knee, and a red cap. Title text is in thick, block-like white capital letters. The letters of “The Rule of” have small gaps in the shading reminiscent of stencil outlines. The letters of “Three” are larger, and each has a very thin black border near the edge and resembles the name lettering on baseball uniforms."
