Customer Reviews

Love the book

The book came in a few days and my son loves it. I would buy again from this seller without second thought.

unique educational book for learning numbers and baseball

My 3 year old grandson loves this book, he borrowed it from his local library and I am going to purchase the book for him. I visited him in Kentucky this past week and I was amazed at his interest in this book. He just turned three and was counting to 20 while we read this book to him. He would count on every page the number of bats, baseballs, ice cream cones, baseball players etc.etc. I highly recommend this book as he learns about the game of baseball as he learns to count.

A FUN WAY TO LEARN COUNTING

Even the youngest readers can get ready to play ball with this zippy verse filled book that teaches counting from one ball to twenty baseball cards. A helpful glossary of baseball terms is also included.

RHYME AND COUNT

MY KIDS ADORED THIS BOOK, AFTER ABOUT THREE READINGS THEY HAD MEMORIZED THE RHYMES AND WERE NOT AT ALL BORED BY COUNTING TO 20.WE WORE OUT THE LIBRARY'S COPY AND ORDERED OUR OWN. I LEARNED A BIT ABOUT BASEBALL AS WELL. NOT THE USUAL DULL COUNT OF CRITTERS OR OBJECTS, THIS BOOK TELLS A STORY BETWEEN THE RHYMES.

A Must Read for Young Baseball Lovers

I loved this picture counting book because it uses the numbers from one to twenty to introduce various aspects of the game of baseball,with full-color realistic paintings. Children who love the game would love this book. It would be great to use for storytelling or for a math or sports unit in the classroom.
