📖 Goodnight Baseball

Mo is much smaller than most of the other kids on his team, and he's almost never been to the field before, because of his small size. One day, his team, the Robins, were playing against the Jays. In the final minutes, Coach Steve tells Mo to go in, and to run deep. The Jays don't believe that Mo will catch the ball. Coach Steve throws a ball to Mo, but he smeared it with butter, so Mo doesn't catch it. This makes the Jays think that Mo is weak and can't catch a ball. The first two runs of the game, Mo ran deep, but nobody passed to Mo. The Jay guarding Mo stopped as well, because nobody passed to Mo. During the final moments of the game, Coach Steve tells people to throw to Mo, and the Robins win the game. This book is a winner of the Theodore Geisel Seuss award. Reason for recommendation: this book teaches kids to not judge a book by its cover. ꔷꔷ T Th h ee B B ee rr ee n n ss tt aa ii n n B B ee aa rr ss P P ll aa yy Football ꔷ

本书获得苏斯奖。小莫比队里的大多数孩子都小,而且因为个子小,他以前几 乎从未上过场。有一天,他所在的罗宾斯队和杰伊队比赛。在比赛最后几分 钟,史蒂夫教练让小莫上场,并深入跑位。史蒂夫教练把涂了黄油的球扔给小 莫,他没能接住。这使得杰伊队员们认为小莫很弱,甚至无法接住一个球。接 下去的前两回合,小莫纵身向前,但没人传球给他,防守小莫的队员也不再对 他防守。比赛最后时刻,史蒂夫教练告诉队员们传球给小莫,最终罗宾斯队赢 得了比赛。 推荐理由:本书教会孩子不要以貌取人。
