5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Introduction to Baseball for Young Children, June 25, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: This Is Baseball (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my two-year old because he'd taken a sudden interest in baseball "hats," and he now knows more about the game itself than a lot adults. Terrific illustrations and pithy copy that give a brief overview of the game.

Since it's short on words, I highly recommend it for toddlers, though it's apparently being marketed to the four- to eight-year old crowd.

Special bonus to Phillies fans: the illustrator is from South Jersey, and you'll recognize the "Home" team as our lovable Phils.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really fun for little baseball fans, March 11, 2006
By 
M. McCann (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: This Is Baseball (Hardcover)
We received this as a gift for my son. This is a great intro to baseball and a wonderful bonding book for baseball-loving parents and their toddler children. I have wonderful pictures of my husband and son enjoying the book together. While simple, the book can hold great emotion and also a great moral in 'tomorrow will be another game'.
