Heather’s Review: We are huge MLB fans at my home so when this book showed up in the mail it was an automatic hit! The large illustrations and glossy pages draw in children of all ages. Pro Files gives young players tips on how to be a better baseball player and stats on all of their favorite players. With background reports, inside information, quotes from big time pros and skill drills this book has it all. I think it is perfect for children grades 2-6 and I would recommend it to avid adult fans as well. This book hit shelves at a perfect time with Spring training is in full swing and the regular season about to get started. A great gift for your little leaguer!
