This book is AMAZING as a daughter and now mother of a girl it really means a lot
that someone wrote a book for Dads and their daughters. I was choked up the
first time we read it for bed time, and now it is a bed time staple in our home! Thank you for recognizing a girls love for baseball.

Great love story about Baseball
Verified Purchase
This is a love story from a Dad to his daughter's. We loved it and shared with the
whole family.
Having an avid baseball in our family has always made watching the game so much
better.
This was a great view of how baseball works and how as my husband always says,
"Baseball is real life".

Ordered this book to read with my daughter while we're overseas in Cameroon. Wanted
something to connect her to the States.
Loved it! She is really excited now, as a result of reading it, about us attending her first game together when we get back home.

Baseball is for Girls, Too!
When his two girls were younger, Michael Turner couldn’t find any children’s picture books that connected dads, daughters, and
baseball—so he wrote his own. The result is “Baseball is Back,” a delightful storybook that sets out the rules of the game in rhyme.
He evokes the sights and smells of the ballpark (popcorn!), shares some personal memories, and even works in Yogi Berra, Willie Mays, and a whole teamful of famous players. Warm, colorful illustrations lend
spirit and whimsy to the action.
Turner is clearly a huge fan of baseball, but he loves his daughters even more. “Here are some memories and rules of the game,” he writes. “Perhaps you will love it like me—just the same. / And maybe you won’t
or maybe you will. / I will love you the same, yes, I’ll love you still.”

Great Father's Day/ Birthday gift for a baseball loving dad!
This is beautifully written and an absolute MUST for any baseball loving father to
read with his daughter(s).
Baseball is Back allows you to feel the excitement of the game from the comfort of your home.
This would make a great Father's Day
gift or birthday gift for the baseball loving dad. The pictures are fabulous, the vocabulary rich and the story line engaging. Great book!

Perfect Intro to Baseball
My son and daughter love this book. It is a great way for parents who love baseball to introduce America's Pastime to their kids.
Has great historical references for the adults and colorful pictures and action for the kids. I will definitely be giving this book as a gift to my buddies when they have kids.

Great Gift for Dads with Daughters
Baseball is back is a wonderful children's book written by a father for his daughters
about his love of baseball and his desire to share that love with his daughters.
It is playful and informative and would make a great gift for Dads with Daughters who love baseball.

Loved this book
Loved this book! We need more books for girls about sports, and this book also
explains the game and uses lingo that sparks conversations with kids.
My son also loved it, and I sent it to cousins, as it also makes a great gift.
Celebrates the love of the game with entire family
Excellent book about baseball. Beautifully rhymes and a much needed premise— daughters and Dad share love of game.

It's so hard to find great books about sports
that will appeal to both boys and girls. What an awesome book!
This is now part of the nightly book rotation.
