- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Summary: This book is about the young frog known as "Froggy," who is very excited for his first day playing T-ball. However, once the game starts, Froggy doesn't exactly do well, missing pitches that were thrown at him. Froggy dearly wishes to be able to hit a home run, and thanks to his perservearance and hard work, he does just that.Personal Reaction: This is a good book for young children, like all the books in the Froggy series are. This books helps kids learn to not give up when thing don't immediately go well and the values of sportsmanship. The illustrations are nice too.Classroom Extension Ideas:1. Have everyone gather together and tell stories of the first sport they ever played and what it was like. For those who have not played a sport yet, they can tell what sports they may want to play in the future and what they hope it will be like.2. For recess, have the kids come together and have children from another class come and learn the basics of baseball by teaching them T-ball.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Summary:Froggy had a dream that he hit a home run, so the next day he was really excited about his T-ball game. However, everytime he would come up to bat he would mess up and get out. He kept trying and trying, then finally he hit his home run.Personal Reaction:I liked this book, it was cute and had good pictures.Classroom Extention:1. teach the class to never give up.2. Have the class write about a time when they were trying something that was difficult that they didnt give up on.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Summary- Froggy plays T-ball, and he can't hit the ball and throws himself out of the game.Basically he doesn't understand the concept of baseball.Then he finally hits it and gets a home run.Personal Reaction-It was an interesting book and i liked that he ended up winning the game for them.And it was very repetitive on how to run the bases in order.Classroom Extensions-1)The school can have a booster club for a T-ball team.2)Teach the children about being encouraging and cheering there friends on when they need help.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is about a frog that loves T-Ball and can't wait for his first day of T-Ball practice. His dad is the T-ball coach and when the first day came, Froggy was soo excited but didn't know much about the game itself. For example when his coach/dad told him to go catch some flies out in the field. Froggy actually went in the outfield and startinf catching the bug flies, not fly balls. All Froggy wanted to do was hit a homerun. At the end of the book he finally does and he couldn't be happier. This book is a great book for anyone child that wants to learn about T-Ball or baseball or just likes sports in general. It is an easy read and has very very color pictures in it. A teacher could ask the students what they know about baseball and make a chart on what was said in the book and what the class knows. Also the students could draw a picture of froggy or even maybe draw a picture of their favorite sport. The book also teaches good sportsmanship.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's Froggy's first day on the T-ball team, and he couldn't be more excited, with his dad as the coach and his whole family cheering him on. But when Coach Dad tells him to catch some flies out in right field, he takes the advice literally! Froggy can't seem to do anything right, but once he starts paying attention, his playing improves. He even hits a home run, and runs all the way—to his house! This is a perfect book for introduction to a favorite sport. Froggy Plays T-Ball shows kids that it's not whether you win or lose—it's how you play the game. I really liked this book. In the classroom would ask the students what do they know about T-Ball and have anyone of them ever been to a T-ball game.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This modern fantasy book is about alittle frog named froggy who has his first game of t-ball. When he goes to his first game, evereyopne hits the ball except for him. Everytime he was told to do something related to baseball, he misunderstood. At the very end of this story, he finally hits the ball and can make a home run. Yet again, he mistakes a home run for runnign home. After the team told him to go to home base and not him, he did so and made his first home run. He then went home to his family.I enjoyed this book because the illustrations were amazing. This would be a great book to read to k-2 grade levels. I also thought the book was very comical. Froggy just didnt understand what people were trying to tell him.In the classroom, I would ask the class who plays baseball and ask them how the game is played. I would also read this book if i was doing a unit on these particular froggy books since there is so many of them.
