I absolutely love this book, but I believe it's a little too subtle as a read-aloud for Kindergarteners and 1st graders. The references to baseball goes over their heads, and the tongue-in-cheek writing (the pictures tell a different story than the written words, sort of like "Dear Mrs. Larue") may be lost on them. It might be a little better as a one-on-one, parent-child read aloud.
