Review: Good quality - Book was in excellent condition when received. It is stronger than a paperback and well priced
Review: Perfect toddler book that introduces trying hard and playing baseball - I love that this book realistically reflects the fact that baseball is a sport of failure. However, as Pete does not seem to succeed in his own efforts, his team still wins. It’s a great way to introduce baseball at a very young age that shows effort is still important and that it’s OK when you don’t hit a ball or when you can’t catch a ball. It’s all about trying and practice. Love this book and love this concept.
