The Catcher's Mask

This book is about Rudy, the catcher, who is playing baseball. Zero is the pitcher. Coach Parker helps Rudy. This book takes place at a baseball field and a yard sale. In the beginning, Rudy?s team, the Mudders, really stink. They had bad uniforms and bad fields. Then, Rudy goes to the yard sale. He buys a catcher?s mask and a book about baseball. At the end, Rudy?s team wins the championship. He becomes a good baseball player.

I enjoyed this book because I like to play baseball in the spring also. A Yankee player named Yogi Berra is in the book. It was a cool surprise in the book. I would like to win a championship like Rudy. I like reading books about kids like me that like the same things as I do.

Although I didn't like the pictures, I would recommend this book to people in the first grade to fourth grade who like to read about baseball and can read chapter books.
