Customer Reviews

As a granddaughter of Babe Ruth, I love this book!

My grandfather Babe Ruth loved children! I know that he would have encouraged children to read this. He believed "baseball is the greatest game in the world and every kid should play it". He also believed, " Everyone should do their best and follow their dreams". He certainly did! It is about friendship and sharing. The story is told in a very imaginative, fun & positve way! It's about a 10 year old girl who is pitching for the Yankees, but dreams of being a a ballet dancer and her best friend is Babe Ruth. I suggest it for girls as well as boys! In fact the first time I saw it, I was appearing at a little league game, and a young boy asked me to autograph it for him. I immediately fell in love with the title, and the illustations looked outstanding! I love how Babe was drawn! Mr. Shortt capured his fun-loving spirit well! I give my blessings!! Enjoy!
