Terrific fun for young baseball players or fans

This easy-to-read book tells the story of four friends. In the summer, they like to play baseball, and in the winter, they like to sit and tell baseball stories. Old Turtle himself tells the best ones, such as the story of Cleo, an octopus pitcher, who gets thrown out of the game when she throws a batter a fast ball, a slow ball, a curve ball, and a slider ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Well, she does have eight arms. This is very easy to read; at about a first or second grade level. My six-year-old son and I LOVE this book.
