1-3Read & Bloom series.
Illustrated by
Eric Wight.
Caveboy (The Adventures of Caveboy) is excited that today is the first day of baseskull practice. He gives his friend Mags a club-swinging lesson before they meet the coach and their team. The simple text of this low-stakes early chapter book serves as a primer for maneuvering social interactions. Digital illustrations support the text well, give readers' eyes consistent breaks, and add racial diversity.
