Reviews
A beginning reader, divided into five chapters, with themes of sports and peer relationships. A typical scene--older siblings and friends not letting the younger kids fully participate in a neighborhood ballgame--takes a new turn when one of the little children makes a surprising play. The final chapter features a madcap chase for the "old soft tennis ball" (a dog runs away with it, it rolls through a jump-rope game, lands in a woman's shopping bag, sits on an awning, etc.), while a small boy scores a triple home run. Not an ordinary baseball game, this, but a street game with invented rules with which city kids will identify. James' black-and-white drawings are large and include numerous easy-to-follow dialogue balloons; thus her co-credit on the text. The pictures are an integral part of the story, which is sure to appeal to newly independent readers. --Gale W. Sherman, Pocatello Public Library, ID
