Would you rather be a starting pitcher or a closer? Would you rather crush a home run in an All-Star Game or hit a double in the World Series? Young readers will love answering these and other questions about pro baseball. From astonishing plays to star players and legendary teams, everything kids love about the sport is covered!
"This series has readers placing themselves in imaginary game situations and making choices that athletes face during competition. Each book opens with a brief introduction to the sport and a short explanation of why quick decision-making matters. The remainder of the book features "would you rather?" questions that ask readers to make a decision, like whether they'd rather be the best three-point shooter or the best at dunking. Well-known athletes and teams are referenced to add interest, but the books do not include statistics or factual analysis. Instead, the focus is on imagination, discussion, and personal choice. Graphic design is a strength, with bold background designs, text boxes, and photographs throughout. Each book includes a table of contents. These titles are best suited for recreational reading and shared discussion. VERDICT A fun option for sports fans who enjoy imaginative scenarios and reading with friends."
