Boomer at the Bat

Woodville Tails, Book 1

This is the story of...well, Boomer at bat.  Kind of guessed that from the title, huh?  Well, that's not all!  Yes, Boomer gets his chance at bat, which is well and fine because really, he swings, misses, swings, misses, and well, let's just say it's going, going, going for quite some time.  What he also gets though is a much needed lesson in sportsmanship, and how to have FUN!  

So many kiddos (and let's face it, adults) get lost in the pursuit of WINNING that they forget to actually enjoy themselves.  After all, baseball (among other sports) was not invented to see who has the highest batting average, number of strike out pitches thrown, or the speediest feet on the planet....it was a GAME, to pass the time and have a little FUN!  Being a sore sport doesn't make it enjoyable for anyone, so I was oh-so-glad to hear Coach Wuzzle help our little Boomer out with his sage advice.  After we get a little adjustment on our focus, the outcome of the swing, hit, and maybe miss or maybe not, doesn't seem nearly as important, but the enjoyment gained, and the friendships made...now those are some headlines to write about.  

All in all, another fabulous release from an author whose work I know and love, as should you!  Every adventure has an element of fun, learning, and those wonderful illustrations that you simply can't take your eyes off of.  No, really!  I'm still looking through the virtual baseball cards at the end of the story.  So cute!
