New York Times bestselling team Deloris and Roslyn M. Jordan, Michael Jordan's mother and sister, are back with this inspiring picture book about playing a good game, win or lose--featuring an introduction from Michael Jordan! Jonathan loves playing with his friend Michael on the Badgers baseball team, but being a Badger isn't always easy. Lately, his team has been striking out again and again, and Jonathan wants a win more than anything. But Michael's Uncle Jack tells the boys that there is a lot more to playing a good game than winning or losing like trying your best, being a team player, and having fun. Once Jonathan starts playing by Jack's golden rules of baseball, his confidence returns, and win or lose, he feels like a winner.
I enjoyed this book. It's about 2 boys in their youth playing baseball. I enjoyed more reading the "Golden Rules"! They could be applied to life in general: 1. Know the game; 2. Pay attention to the coach at all times; 3. Know your opponent; 4. Be a team player; 5. Practice a winning attitude; 6. Find out what you do best; 7. Find out what you need to work on; 8. Practice, practice, practice; 9. Learn from your mistakes; and, 10. Have Fun!

My 5 year old loves baseball. So this book was the perfect book for him. The illustrations were great, and the story was great. The golden rules are wonderful, and are a great starting poing in applying them outside of baseball. He reads this book frequently. Highly recommended.
