This book was about a little Japanese boy whose grandparents take him to a baseball game in American and in Japan as well. Throughout the book he compares the two baseball games and how even though they are a baseball game there are a lot of differences between the two countries when it comes to baseball and celebrating. Overall I enjoyed the book and it had good illustrations and showed diversity as well. This is a book about a boy who gets to go with a member of his family to baseball games in both the United States and Japan! We find out what things are similar and what is different between the two countries. I liked reading about how the food at the stadium is so different. Hot dogs and peanuts in America and soba noodles and edamame in Japan. The author includes notes in the back telling about the history and information about the games in those countries. You can even learn some new Japanese words.
I liked the comparisons between american and japanese baseball. I liked the illustrations. Tracy
