Reviews
“In a warm reversal of the usual competitive sports message, a parent teaches his son to let go and just have fun…The playful illustrations in watercolor and collage show the team playing ball and also goofing off; and the simple, rhythmic words, featuring lots of repetition, will have kids joining in.” ―Booklist
