Jorge Posada Books

A play for 8 males and 3 females. After Spanish has been outlawed, with the new law being enforced by the language police, the proprietors and patrons of a Queens restaurant attempt to comply with the new law.

Current New York Yankees catcher, Jorge Posada, relates how he became a switch hitter
at his father's insistence when he was a Little Leaguer. Average fare with no real pazazz.
The proceeds from the book DO go to Mr. Posada's foundation for the ailment from which his young
son suffers---a nice touch but the book itself is blah--and I see ONLY real Jorge
Posada fans of young age enjoying this one.

Okay, I have no idea what a few of the other reviewers are talking about. If you and your child enjoy baseball, there's no way you wouldn't consider this book a homerun.

I'm not a Yankees fan, but I really enjoyed this book. My four-year-old got it when he was three, loves it, and wants to read it over and over.

The story is written by Posada with the help of Robert Burleigh, the author of the excellent Home Run: The Story of Babe Ruth. The illustrations are excellent. The story moves along at a perfect pace, is well written, and shows a young player that baseball takes a lot of patience.

This book belong on your shelf with Casey At the Bat: A Ballad of the Republic Sung in the Year 1888 (Caldecott Honor Book), Take Me Out to the Ballgame (Aladdin Picture Books) and other great children's baseball books.

Puerto Rican native and current Yankee catcher Jorge Posada tells the story of his boyhood struggles to become a switch hitter and big league player. The story contains sudden scene changes that might confuse young readers and listeners.
