Baseball in April and Other Stories: Award-Winning Tales About Friendship, Youth, and Growing Up for Kids (Ages 8-12)

My son loved the book! Great AR Book read!

Gary Soto rights these slice of life vignettes that tell such a beautiful story of young Latine life in the United States.

excelente producto

Good read for my 10 year old son. Stories are short enough to read every evening. Mexican dialogue and setting but relatable.

Great book, fast read.

I bought just one copy of the book, but I put it under the document camera and on the Interwrite board. I had a very small ESL reading class (only 12 students), and they got a big kick out of most of the stories in this book. All of the students were 6th and 7th grade Hispanic students and they could really relate to the stories about Hispanics in CA who were there their age. The book arrived quickly and I was able to find some free lesson plans online to print out. A great buy and I plan to use the book again with another class of students this year. I'm sure they'll like the stories, too. If I didn't have to buy books myself without reimbursement, I'd sure buy at set of these books!

Great stories and loved being able to use to teach context clues

Gary Soto can see the world through the eyes of children and young adults. My fifth grade students related well to his stories, and so did I. Children are not talked down to. Messages for adults as well. Good for reluctant readers.
