<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>It feels as if it'll be a long season for Arthur as he struggles to sharpen his baseball skills and ends up learning an important lesson about teamwork.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Arthur is thrilled to make the Little League team, but worries that he won't be able to play as well as all his friends. At practice he tries hard, but his skills are rusty and he's an absolute klutz. Francine, who thinks she's the best player on the team, wants the coach to bench Arthur. Even Buster's good luck charm (a shriveled up carrot) doesn't help Arthur do better at batting or fielding the ball. As the first game creeps closer - will Arthur be able to show his teammates that they can count on him?</p><p><em>Text from Kids Reads - Copyright (c) 2020 The Book Report, Inc.</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>From School Library Journal</strong></p><p> </p><p><em>Grade 2-3.</em> In Arthur Makes the Team, Arthur has difficulty learning all of the nuances of baseball. His main problem is the ball-it simply will not cooperate with his mitt. Francine's constant criticism is a big obstacle, too, but they manage to overcome their conflict by realizing that team members need to help one another on and off the field. The story line is simple and the plot moves along at a smooth, entertaining pace. The subtle humor is right on target for the intended audience. The characters are fully developed and interact well together. The black-and-white illustrations provide a nice break for readers moving into chapter books.</p><p><em>Pam Hopper Webb, Sandpoint Community Christian School, ID - Copyright (c) 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.</em></p><br>
