Description

Before the Seattle Mariners, there were the Seattle Rainiers who are playing for the pennant in this story that shows how baseball unites diverse communities. Tour the Seattle of 1955 with Huey as he and his neighborhood cheer for the Seattle Rainiers. If only Huey can find his missing ticket to the game! This nostalgic and historical picture book follows Huey through South Seattle as he retraces his steps through the charming neighborhood surrounding Sick’s Stadium to find his lost ticket--and follows him through the big game to victory. Neighbors from all different backgrounds listen to the game, announced by the beloved Leo Lassen, as Huey visits locally owned shops like the Italian bakery and the Japanese fish market. Featuring the vibrant retro illustrations by Larry Gets Lost series creator John Skewes, Ticket to the Pennant celebrates diversity and will be cherished by baseball fans young and old. Read more

Amazing book!
Format: Hardcover
Mark Holtzen, shall we say, hits authenticity out of the park with his picture book. Growing up, my dad would tell me stories of how he would always go to baseball games and sit in the dollar bleachers, catching home runs. Reading Holtzen’s book reminded me so much of the stories my dad told me. It not only put me in the story of the main character losing his ticket and frantically trying to retrace his steps to find it, meeting so many great people along the way – it also took me back to my dad as a young boy and all the times he told me about the baseball games. Holtzen’s authenticity shows his love for baseball and for storytelling. Any reader who has never experienced going to a baseball game or living in the kind of city from the book, especially the time period the story is set in, will be immediately transported to this place. ... show more

All of us can relate to the joy of watching our team win a satisfying game
Format: Hardcover
A gem of a book. All of us can relate to the joy of watching our team win a satisfying game. It also tells the story of the journey and the destination sometimes being the same thing. The language and the illustrations in this book make you feel like you’re right there with the main character, Huey. After reading this book to my son, I asked him “What’s this book about?” And he said “how sports bring people together.” When I asked him what he liked about it, he said “it’s fun, and the announcer’s speaking is really funny and real, and the whole book you feel like you’re right there with him.” ... show more

Fun read for kids, great memories for adults
Format: Hardcover
Bought this book to announce to my dad (who is from the Seattle area) that my wife and I are having a baby. LOVE the artwork, the story is great and it was fun to see my dad react to some of the local landmarks he remembered as a kid. His dad used to be a bat boy for the Seattle Rainiers so this was a little extra special for him. I think anyone would enjoy this book, even if baseball isn't your favorite sport (like it is in my family). But if you do like baseball, and especially if you're from the Seattle area, I highly recommend this book. ... show more

A Genuine Home Run.

Wow, what amagical trip back in time to the glory days of the Seattle Rainiers and innocence of growing up in the Rainier Valley. A great experience for readers of every age!

For People who love Seattle and Baseball!
Format: Hardcover
My granddaughter, aged two, can't get enough of this book. As someone who grew up in Seattle, with fond memories of Borracchini's bakery, Sick's Stadium, and Mutual Fish, and the sights and sounds of the "south end," the book was an evocative and warming stroll through my own childhood as well. It was fun to read out loud, and the notes at the back were great. ... show more

A great picture book for kids of all ages!
Format: Hardcover
As former residents of the area in which this book takes place, my kids and I loved comparing modern-day Seattle to the past. We wish we could have gone to a game at Sick's Stadium! Following Huey in his quest to find his ticket kept us reading quickly, and the discussion questions at the end also provided for interesting conversation (tell me about something you've lost and how that felt...). Recommended! ... show more
