Grandpa
Gordy’s Greatest World Series Games
By Steven
A. Falco
Grandpa
Gordy is quite a character. Like so many grandparents, he loves
to tell stories about “the way things were.” But you
won’t find any tall tales about walking to school uphill both
ways in the snow in this book. Instead, you’ll ooh and ahh
over the thrills of baseball’s greatest game—The World
Series.
An incredible
twenty-one games are highlighted in this book—from as early
as 1924, all the way up to 2001. Steven Falco has masterfully divided
the book into action-packed, concise chapters that are ideal for
parents who like to read to their children. Grandpa Gordy’s
light-hearted storytelling is fast-paced and entertaining, making
Grandpa Gordy’s Greatest World Series Games a great
book for young readers.
The
first in a series of Grandpa Gordybooks, Grandpa Gordy’s
Greatest World Series Games is not only enjoyable, it’s
educational. Filled with tons of facts about dozens of players,
this book will make you feel like a baseball aficionado by the time
you finish it. The perfect book for baseball fans of all ages, Grandpa
Gordy’s Greatest World Series Games will have you whistling
“Take Me Out to the Ballgame" for days.
