These are rules that can be used just about anywhere in life so it proves that sports is a great way to get kids ready for life.

I gave it to every member of my four year old tee ball team two years ago and I still get comments from parents about how it's their youngsters favorite book.

The "but" in my review that keeps it from getting five stars is the misprint in the last few paragraphs of the book.

Every child I've known to read this book has been held rapt by the illustrations alone.

My 5 year old loves baseball. So this book was the perfect book for him. The illustrations were great, and the story was great. The golden rules are wonderful, and are a great starting poing in applying them outside of baseball. He reads this book frequently. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed this book. It's about 2 boys in their youth playing baseball. I enjoyed more reading the "Golden Rules"! They could be applied to life in general: 1. Know the game; 2. Pay attention to the coach at all times; 3. Know your opponent; 4. Be a team player; 5. Practice a winning attitude; 6. Find out what you do best; 7. Find out what you need to work on; 8. Practice, practice, practice; 9. Learn from your mistakes; and, 10. Have Fun!

I am a school teacher in MA. I noticed this book was on the summer school reading list for students entering the third grade, so I decided to read it. I am not a fan of books written by celebrities or relatives of celebrities. If Deloris Jordan was not Michael Jordan's mother it never would have been published. The plot and dialogue are hackneyed.
