5.0 out of 5 stars Great book to read with a young baseball fan
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2005
Verified Purchase
This series in general, and the Jeter book in particular, are great for a 5-10 year old sports nut. I read this with our 6 year old, a chapter a night for a couple weeks.

It's well written and moves quickly.

It makes reading fun by being about something a sports fan kid will really enjoy.

And Jeter in particular is a good story because he's such an great role model for kids -- he crosses racial divides, espouses the virtue of hard work, respect and not taking anything for granted.

Highly recommended

I thought the book was awesome. I wondered why my grandson was so into Jeter and now after reading his biography he has another fan. I would recommend this book to anyone of any age in baseball with the same dream.

Nine year old baseball aficionado/all star used this book as part of his references for a major class biography project. He enjoyed the book, grateful he could learn yet not have to read "too many pages," which is how he currently rates books!
