Simply Read Books recently sent me Doug Keith’s “B is for Baseball: Alphabet Cards.”
These are baseball themed falsh cards to teach your litle ones the alphabet.
Keith’s illustrations on each card are outstanding. I showed them to my kids. And, even though mine, almost seven and nine, are too old for alphabet flashcards, they enjoyed seeing how each letter was formed in a baseball setting – like a batter at the plate, a player in the field, player on deck, etc. Great stuff.
If you’re a big baseball fan and you have, or know someone who has, a little one about ready to learn the alphabet, you owe it to yourself to check out “B is for Baseball: Alphabet Cards.”
I read my three boys the book H is for Home Run. Great alphabet book. Lots of Yankee references in there of course “B is for the Babe, the New York Yankee great, who batted balls twards bleachers at a then unheard of rate” happens to be my oldest sons favoite!
My favorite:
With vim and verve
He walloped the curve
From Texas to Duluth,
Which is no small task
And I beg to ask
Was there ever a fella like Ruth?
BTW back in the day Ogden Nash wrote a baseball alphabet poem which contained:
Y is for Young,
The magnificent Cy.
Men batted against him,
But I never knew why.
