Kid favorite!!

This is my children’s favorite book. It’s so fun to read, and the illustrations are wonderful! We love all of Chris Van Dusen, but this one is by far the family favorite!

This Baseball Story Really Does Hit A Home Run in your heart!

When it comes to outstanding vibrant pictures and rhyming words, Chris Van Dusen knows how to bless a reader- young and old! These books bring creativity and comfort to everyone. I first borrowed the book from the library several years ago for my brother who was 9. I read it to him during baseball season, and he loved it. It was a special time for both of us, and once you've read the book it's hard to explain to someone just how special and perfect it really is. I have since then bought this book, and nearly all the others in the Chris Van Dusen collection. I love children's books, they warm my heart and bring a smile to my soul. With this book, you won't be disappointed!
