pick3⭐. It's divided into 4 parts. I thought the 4th part was most interesting. Charlie the dog was precious. It's nonfiction taking place in 1960.
so-soI had way more fun with the visual storytelling and turn-the-book text gimmick than with the fairly schmaltzy message and somewhat cliche/confused narrative. I think I would look for other Santat picture books for that pictures alone.

Best inclusion of a back of book barcode in the cover art I've seen in a while. 😁
so-soI liked it but I also didn‘t like it very much. Some of it seemed so obvious, like the mc being SO unlikable at the beginning…. So that we‘d see growth and like him by the end. And there were some good nuggets to think about…. But I‘m really all over the place with it.

so-soI love the premise of this book- two college buddies set out to watch a game at every major league ballpark in 30 days. It didn‘t quite work in execution though. One of the guys didn‘t even like baseball. So it‘s less a book about baseball than a book about two guys waiting for baseball games to end so they can explain some more about road trip logistics.
