Bobby Baseball

By Robert Kimmel-Smith and Robert Kimmel Smith

Book Overview

Ten-year-old Bobby Ellis loves everything about baseball, from the hits to the hot dogs. That's why he calls himself Bobby Baseball! Every day he dreams of becoming a major league pitcher and joining the stars in the Baseball Hall of Fame. And what better place to start his career than right here on his own Kids Club team, the Hawks? But the hawks' coach happens to be Bobby's father, who has other ideas. "You're a natural second baseman," he says, expecting Bobby to be a model player who never makes a single mistake. Get real, Dad! When Bobby pitches three winning games in a row, the Hawks rule. Suddenly Bobby's life seems like one big basball game--games on the field, games on TV, and games in his mind. Can Bobby keep on winning? Can he count on Dad?

Awesome baseball bool

When I read Bobby Baseball I knew I would love it. The reason is that I love baseball. I would say this book made me love to read books. I would recommend this book to kids who love to learn about growing up and baseball. This is a great book for ages 9-13. Especially kids who absaloutly love baseball.

It is good!

I am 10 years old from Pittsburgh Pa. It is a very good book. Read it when I was sick. One of the best I have ever read.

Bobby Baseball teaches you alot about BASEBALL and LIFE.

I'm nine years old and Bobby Baseball is one of the best books I have ever read. If you like reading and you like baseball, then you will love this book.

Helped my son overcome his fear of reading.

My son was diagnosed with dislyxia and really hated to read because it was so difficult. He got Bobby Baseball through the taping service and he listened to the book over and over and over. He so loved the book that we bought it for him. This book lead him to read other books about kids and baseball, but it will always have a place in my heart as the first book that he read all the way through by himself. (He has probably memorized it by now!)
