Booklist - 09/01/2021 Lenny loves everything about baseball. Crushingly, though, he’s not very good at it. In the first game of the season, when a pop fly sails toward him in the outfield, Lenny hides his face in his mitt, resulting in mockery from his teammates and a slump in his confidence. But Lenny’s got his dad supporting him—and his favorite book, The Big Book of Baseball Facts, which contains the heartening fact that both Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron struck out many more times than they hit home runs. In order to improve, Lenny and his dad play catch endlessly, and when the second game comes, Lenny hears that satisfying “Thwap!” as he catches the ball. Besides having bright, engaging illustrations in which the hues change with Lenny’s mood (after Lenny’s dropped ball, there are only a few color points in the mostly gray streetscape), this is an inspiring example of the value of cultivating a growth mindset where practice pays off—not all the time, but enough. - Copyright 2021 Booklist.
