This book was so interesting it was a hit at my Grandson's party. The party of boys loved the information but also the activities it included to make learning basball history fun. Parents and other adults loved filling in on some of what they had either seen or experieced to add to the festivies. I recommend it very highly!

This book is a delightful and funny introduction to baseball. We read it to our 6 1/2 year old who loved it. It's a nice way to teach him about the game and some of the terminology.
