This a great book for boys and girls who love baseball. Each letter of the alphabet is connected with baseball in a cute way. “H is for home plate and hitting homers. Wow! Then happy home announcers shout, ‘A home run! Holy cow!’” In addition to the alphabet poem, each page includes a little informational section about baseball and the letter. I thought I already knew lots about baseball, but even I learned some new things. Alphabet books are great for pre-readers; it encourages their interest in the letters and sounds. My nephew LOVES this book. It has been read to him since he was 2. Now, he is 5 years old and has the book memorized. He knows his letters and sounds of those letters. Recognition of letters and their accompanying sounds is one of the key predictors of reading success.
