Pete the Cat: Play Ball!: A Fun Baseball Story for Children (Ages 4-8) (My First I Can Read)

Book was in excellent condition when received. It is stronger than a paperback and well priced

I love that this book realistically reflects the fact that baseball is a sport of failure. However, as Pete does not seem to succeed in his own efforts, his team still wins. It’s a great way to introduce baseball at a very young age that shows effort is still important and that it’s OK when you don’t hit a ball or when you can’t catch a ball. It’s all about trying and practice. Love this book and love this concept.

Son's favorite books

You can't go wrong with a Pete the Cat book! They always have a good story line. Kids love them! Including my grand son who asked me to get him Pete the Cat books for him to read! This book is soft cover & has paper pages. Came to me in great condition & by the promised date. I highly recommend this seller!

The Pete-the-Cat books are our favorites in the "My First Level, I Can Read!" series. Pete may not be as well known as Little Critter, Biscuit, Fancy Nancy, or the Berenstain Bears, but his groovy cool factor moves him to the top of our list. Unlike some of the "I Can Read" books, the Pete books usually have a complete story, with a clear beginning, a couple of developments in the middle, and then a satisfying ending. I like that even in very early readers. What happens makes sense and the endings are sensible, and groovy. Each fully illustrated page has two sentences, running from four to seven words each. That's a nice length and a good and fair challenge for a little starting reader. The drawings fully support the text, and while they look a bit amateurish at first the characters are actually expressive and presented effectively. The "message" if you want to call it that, of this book is that you just have to try your best, and whether you get a hit or strike out, whether you drop the fly ball or catch it, the important point is to do your very best. Pete always gives it his all and that what makes him such an interesting hero for such an early reading level series. So, this is one of the few early readers books that strikes me as "set worthy" and we've been happy to collect them all over time. The paperback versions are particularly good value.

My kids have a ton of pete the cat books so we got this as a Christmas gift to add to their collection! They love them all!

Me encanta buena lectura. Para un niño que esté en primer grado es perfecto. Se comprende con facilidad y tiene palabras fáciles. Además que deja un mensaje muy lindo

Funny & attention grabbing, especially for little boys and girls who love baseball. Highly recommend.

kids love this series, nice books

Loving Pete The Cat and his songs and books. They're great for children from 2 or 3yrs with parental help and for 4 or 5yr old readers learning to read independently. Pete is groovy!

El pedido ha llegado en su periodo previsto. Sin embargo, es de dimensiones muy pequeñas y eso no lo ponía en la descripción.

Meaningful story. Captivating images. Easy read for kids

Great product for both the baseball fiend and a lover of Pete the Cat!
