Product Description
The Los Angeles Dodgers were huge underdogs in the 1988 World Series against the Oakland A's, the most dominant team in baseball. While many thought the Dodgers were outmatched by the power of the Bash Brothers (Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire) and Dennis Eckersley's masterful pitching, Tommy Lasorda, Orel Hershiser and Kirk Gibson had other ideas. Kirk Gibson's game winning home run in Game 1 of the World Series propelled the Dodgers to the Championship. It was one of the greatest moments in baseball history. Gibby's Homer is a children's picture book that commemorates and celebrates this extraordinary victory and enables parents to share this magical moment with their children.

This book is absolutely fantastic - simple words, big illustrations, and captures the exceitment of a sporting event. Even though I am not a Dodger's fan, the value to reading the book is in introducing a sport to my kid. For me, it is a great way to spend quality time with my daughter with a topic that I really enjoy as well.
Awaiting the next book...

Great book!! An amazing way for parent's to spend time reading to their children but the plus is that they will be reading about a great moment in sports, magnificently illustrated, and will be able to relate the passion and the excitement of a story well written. I wiil definetly have several copies in my waiting rooms. The combination of an intellectual activity(reading) and sports will fit our society well. G Garcia-Cabrero.

What a book! My four year-old son picks it from several hundred books in his library over and over again. I can't even count how many times I've read it. The story line is well written and based on actual sports history. The creatively done illustrations keep my little guy glued to the page. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone and for the father with young boys...it is a MUST!
Exactly what children's books needed September 5, 2007
Karl Egbert (Washington, DC)
This is precisely the kind of book I want for my sons. It does a great job of explaining a memorable sports moment and conveys exactly what's so great about the game of baseball. Now, if they could just come out with the story of the Boston Red Sox...
