Take me out to the ball game… Young Felix of eleven is absolutely obsessed with baseball. His father was a famous Cuban player on a professional team. Obsessed as he is, he is at a baseball game, the Miracle against another team, (My little toad mind can’t remember the name of the other team, but you can read it to find out,) when a little incident happens. Well, more like an incident that makes the whole story a story. He runs away. None of my toad friends or I would ever do THAT, at least I wouldn’t, of course. He is mistaken inside the Miracle’s dugout as the new batboy. Follow Felix’s story in this wonderful book.
Even though I really don’t have quite a taste for baseball, I still enjoyed this lovable novel. This book inspired a new seed of imagination in my head, “In real life, you don’t have to be a grown up to have an adventure.” All people that live on Toad Hill absolutely love this saying made up by our first president of our hill, George Washingtoad, who was 6 toad years old when he became a president, “Just because though art’ young, doth not mean that thee shall not have a job.” I would recommend this book to nine year olds and up because of it’s sadness and realistic-ness, even though it is fiction. Have fun reading!

I'm so happy to have found your website – I think it's wonderful! Children-related websites tend to be my favorite, thus it's only fitting that I work for a published children's author who's site is based on her delightful characters from her Danny the Dragon children's book series, complete with contests and plenty of helpful information for families, moms and kids. I think you two should definitely hook up. In fact, she selects other bloggers and sites to recommend to her readers at http://DannyTheDragon.com/blog and http://DannyTheDragon.com. The Danny site is being revamped this weekend. You will love it! Let me know if you'd like to hook up and I'll let her know. Would you be interested in recommending her site? Thank you, Rosie www.DannyTheDragon.com
