Sports fans of all ages will enjoy this tale of a boy's day at the ballpark with his father. This hardcover book's design, from its cover, fonts, and illustrations to the type of paper it's printed on, adds to a nostalgic feel perfect for our national pastime and the cherished childhood memories it's created for so many of us. The story (told in rhyme) and illustrations capture the enduring pleasure of professional baseball. From the hustle and bustle of arriving at the stadium and finding seats to the thrum of crowd-filled bleachers and the sharp impact of bat on ball, the sweet thrill of the game is on display. Page after page captures the warmth of the experience, with the boy noticing every little detail as he says goodbye at night's end to the players, the park, even the popcorn boxes under the stands. The camaraderie of players and fans alike shines through, and the boy goes to bed that night with a smile on his face. Yours will, too!
