This is a fantastic title for baseball history and trivia. My 10 year old son devoured this with his love of baseball. He called me over one morning to tell me about the only woman who was elected to the hall of fame. I'd recommend this for any baseball fan.
My son has a new love for baseball, and I can not even begin to say the amount of times he read this book over and over and over again. It was so well done! Highly recommend for those baseball lovers
This book is great for kids! My son has been so interested in baseball this summer and he's been talking about visiting the hall of fame. Perfect time to introduce this book to him. He loved reading all the stats and player info.
I loved the pictures and facts. My daughter loved her first baseball game when we took her to the Durham Bulls recently. She knows we are Red Sox fans and loved seeing the Red Sox players but she may be a little young for the book. I would buy this as a gift for my friends son when he gets a little older.
This book is so cool. My baseball obsessed son will drool over a print copy of this when it's released. There are plentiful photographs and facts in easily digestible paragraphs. There is a real need for unique sports books, especially history ones. I've found that sports is the best way to get my son interested in other historical events.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. I can't wait to see this at my library.
What a fantastic book for baseball lovers 8-12 and really, any adult fan of the sport. Filled with facts and photos, with a timeline, glossary, and a list of every inductee, including players, managers, commissioners, broadcasters, and umpires. A perfect gift for the baseball fans in your life!
Don't miss this book if you are a fan of baseball! Great facts, trivia, and pics of many of the leagues' best players. For kids but I enjoyed it because it's well laid out amd makes me want to read more about baseball.
This book is AWESOME! What an easy guide for kids (and adults alike) to get to know the greats in baseball in a manageable way. My baseball loving son is obsessed!
Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – becker & mayer for my advance copy in exchange for my honest feedback.
"A Kids' Guide to the National Baseball Hall of Fame" is a great book for any baseball fan or fanatic, whether they are a kid or a kid at heart. The images and formatting are really evocative of a hall of fame installment and the older photography is artfully remastered where possible. I really enjoyed the timeline in the back, along with the info on the MLB awards. I think this would make a great gift, especially if someone wants to see the hall of fame but isn't able to as this really captures its essence.
When we return from summer vacation each year, there always seem to be some students who have visited this site during their break. I can imagine that this book would be very popular, especially among my middle school boys. I enjoyed all of the facts and the way the book was set up.
My two children (ages 9 and 12) are baseball obsessed. I requested this book so that we could read together about players in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. We hope to visit the museum in Cooperstown in the near future, and this book provides a great overview of all of the players, along with the rules for election to the hall of fame. I was hoping that the reading level would be good for a middle schooler, but given the lack of depth in the profiles, I think this is better suited to upper elementary ages. I really enjoyed the alphabetical style layout and the vivid pictures from throughout baseball history. Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced copy to share with my boys!
