Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1–A baseball entreats a little boy to play with him, suggesting all the fun they can have together throwing, catching, and hitting. Friends will come running for the chance to play, too. Hear me CRACK off the bat!/See me FLY through the sky. The promised enjoyment comes with one simple requirement: could you PLE-E-EASE TAKE ME OUT OF THIS GLOVE? The simple text reads smoothly, although some of the rhymes are forced. The acrylic illustrations are colorful and inviting. Overall, this is a pleasant package for baseball fans just starting to read on their own.–Kara Schaff Dean, Needham Public Library, MA

My almost 2 yr old son really loves this book and has for several months! The pages are not as thick as a board book, but are much sturdier than a typically book page. We really get animated while reading this one, so I'm not sure if that is the fascination or if it's because he recently went to his first baseball game. Whatever the case, it's been a great read for him and he enjoys it very much. He likes the "I Love Dogs" super sturdy picture book too.

This is a great book. I would recommend this book to every kid and adult as well. This author writes books are easy to read; he is an inspiring author. I also bought several of his other books and have enjoyed reading them myself. My grand children just love the baby love books and Brown Sugar Baby.
