 for a baseball lover October 15, 2005
I love the book Babe Ruth Saves Baseball. It is one of my favorite books in the world. It is so sublime. I prefer it for a young reader. It is one of Frank Murphy's best books in my opinion. I never knew Babe Ruth saved baseball by hitting homers. And, by the way, Mr. Murphy is my teacher!
Babe Ruth review October 15, 2005
I think this book is down right enjoying I'm not saying its good just because he's my teacher but he's a fabulous author I think that we would always want to learn about educated books and non-fiction books are enjoying also. Frank Murphy is my favorite author.

cool book October 15, 2005
Love that book! I like how there is so much detail. I like that you had a fact sheet at the end with a picture of babe Ruth. I like that you made it about babe and him saving baseball. Babe is my favorite player. When you had to look up facts about him I bet took really hard. You are my favorite author. And you are my fourth grade teacher. I like a lot of your books. But this is the #1 book that I like.

FANTASTIC BOOK!!! July 12, 2005
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I love this book! I love how the author makes Babe come alive for kids. I am a teacher and have read this book to my class. All of my students loved hearing it and have read it again and again. We really felt like we got to know Babe and looked up to him so much more than we already did!!! Frank Murphy does an excellent job telling the sad story of baseball and how it did almost die, but he leaves the reader feeling very positive and inspired to be their own kind of hero!!!
 Why do kids need to know that baseball players cheated ? July 1, 2005
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am very disappointed with this book. I was really hoping for a children's book that I could use to introduce my 8 year son to Babe Ruth. But, instead, I read a book that refers to baseball players and cheating. In the end, I will never read this book to my son. In my opinion, young children do not need to be introduced to the concept of baseball players cheating. My suggestion, publish a book that highlights Babe Ruth's accomplishments as a world series pitcher that becomes baseball's home run legend. I do not recommend this book.
