Reviews
This title in the Sports Are Fun! series presents about the simplest tutorial on baseball possible—but makes it look enjoyable and nonthreatening, which is the whole point. The square book fits well into small hands (good luck with baseball gloves, though) and its pages are dominated by bright, summery shots of happy multicultural children slinging the ball around the diamond. Four short chapters present the need-to-knows: the basic idea (“The team that scores the most runs wins”), the requisite gear, the basic sequence of a pitch-hit-run sequence, and a diagram of the field. The description of play takes up the bulk of the book, and the text is remarkably clear. The decision to use several different kids to illustrate segments of the same play may lead, however, to a bit of confusion. Still, it seems like a bunch of fun. Very basic fun facts (“A baseball game is broken into innings”) conclude, along with a glossary. Preschool-Grade 1. --Daniel Kraus
