A Nice TuesdayIn A Nice Tuesday, Pat Jordan chronicles his decision to reclaim the failed potential of his youth. A young baseball pitcher of inordinate promise, Jordan had been one of the Milwaukee Braves first "bonus babies." His struggle through the minor leagues and ultimate failure to play in the majors, eloquently chronicled in A False Spring, defined his youth. At fifty six, Jordan realizes that "this trivial thing" has also defined his life and decides to

In A Nice Tuesday, Pat Jordan chronicles his decision to reclaim the failed potential of his youth. A young baseball pitcher of inordinate promise, Jordan had been one of the Milwaukee Braves first "bonus babies." His struggle through the minor leagues and ultimate failure to play in the majors, eloquently chronicled in A False Spring, defined his youth. At fifty-six, Jordan realizes that "this trivial thing" has also defined his life and decides to make a comeback. He whips himself back into playing condition and convinces an independent minor-league team, the Waterbury (Connecticut) Spirit, to let him return to the mound one last time. In this memoir, Jordan lays bare his midlife quest with honesty and humor, making A Nice Tuesday about much more than baseball.

Good book but not shipment safe.
Format: Board book
I love the book but the shipment left bumps on all corners. It saddened me :( considering an international shipment they should've been more careful.

Bought for my one year old niece. She loves the bright pictures and being able to push the button to make the animal sounds. Great buy.

Fun animal book with Eric Carle illustrations!
Format: Board book
Some of the noises the animals make feel a little strange, but my toddler loves to push the buttons! I do like that it says the name of the animal before making the sound the animal makes - gives some vocabulary practice when my daughter is reading independently.

All the grandkids enjoy these, of various ages.
Format: Board book
The grandkids always enjoy Eric Carle sound books. The older one reads the stories and the younger one likes to just push the buttons and listen and then say what the animal is. The sound is always nice and clear and the photos on the buttons are easily recognizable. As an added bonus these were offered at a great holiday price.
