A fun and informative book about matter!
Catherine Ciocchi did a wonderful job of mixing science with an entertaining story for kids with “Science, Matter and the Baseball Park.” The boppy, rhyming text moves swiftly along through a day at the ball game, something many kids and families can relate to. As it turns out, all types of matter (solids, liquids and gasses) can be found everywhere, from the helmets on the players’ heads to the slushies the fans are slurping! Such a great way to teach a normally “dry” subject to kids so they can thoroughly understand and enjoy it, too. Ciocchi has a natural ability for fun rhyme and the pictures by Burgen and Chantelle Thorne are lovely to look at. This one’s a home run!

Great book to show that science is everywhere – even at a ball game!
I read SCIENCE, MATTER, AND THE BASEBALL PARK right before going to a baseball game. Iâll never look at baseball the same. This fascinating picture book follows a father and daughter enjoying their day together at a ball game. The rhyming text cleverly explains the matter involved in the game including atoms, solids, liquids, and gases. What a fun way to introduce science concepts! The exciting illustrations are filled with action and show the diversity of people in the stands, on the field, and those that work to make it all come together. This is a great choice for baseball and sport fans.

She shared with me the kids loved it and so did she!My 6th grader felt left out so she went in with a copy for her class too! She is a softball player so loved learning all about the science!My 5 year LOVES baseball and canât hear enough about home runs!The author does a beautiful job relating science to baseball.
