PreS-Gr 2—This is the perfect book to share with children who are just starting to play baseball on a team. Jordan describes getting dressed, pre-game practice, playing the outfield, and his turn to bat. Added dialogue bubbles show the kids interacting and, often, what they are thinking. The story concludes with the players shaking hands and getting ice cream. Through cartoon illustrations in bright colors, young readers will enjoy learning about the basics of baseball.—Nancy Jo Lambert, Ruth Borchardt Elementary, Plano, TX
