FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature - Scott S. Floyd
Blackstone and O'Brien give the beginning reader a delightful look into the exciting game of baseball. Through simple text and colorful, descriptive pictures they bring this now easy to understand sport to an age group that requires the concrete to learn.
BookList - Chris Sherman
Rookie readers and fans will enjoy this very basic introduction to baseball. Blackstone's simple, declarative sentences, reminiscent of controlled-text primers, lack excitement, but O'Brien's lively, full-page, watercolors provide lots of action, expand the text, and offer a great opportunity for parents or other adults to explain the finer points of the grand old game. Beginning readers familiar with the sport may be able to read the book to themselves or to their friends.
