Baseball for Breakfast is a delightful book for kids, especially those who hate to wait. The book shows it's readers what can happen when you don't take time for all things in life and how that thinking only of yourself can be disastrous. A wonderful book to show that each moment is important and that patience is truly a virture!

Jimmy hated to wait. He did not think that waiting was fair. His mother told him that it was good to wait and learn patience. Jimmy thought about what his mother said until he fell asleep. On his way to school the next morning he found a very strange watch. He discovered that when he moved the minute hand forward it would skip time. When Jimmy got to his class his teacher was taking role so he moved the minute hand forward a little bit and the recess bell started ringing. After recess jimmy was hungry so he turned the watch hand forward and it was time for lunch. After lunch jimmy moved the hand forward thee more hours, and he was running to baseball practice. Jimmy did not have to wait for anything, but after skipping so many meals, eating too much dessert, and not taking baths he became weak and people called him "rotten egg". Jimmy had skipped all the rainy days to have a sunny day so there was a big drought. Pretty soon they would have no food. His mother told him that eating his vegetables made him strong, and that skipping rainy days made it so that they would have no water. His mother told him to break the watch and not skip another moment. It was a hard decision but finally Jimmy threw the watch on the side walk and it broke into a thousand pieces. When jimmy woke up he looked out the window as it started to rain. He wondered if baseball practice would be canceled but it really did not matter.
