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

    • All of us can relate to the joy of watching our team win a satisfying game
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

    • For People who love Seattle and Baseball!
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

    • Fun read for kids, great memories for adults
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 great picture book for kids of all ages!
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

    • The announcer's commentary throughout makes for a fun story for both baseball fans and history buffs alike
Being a long-term resident of the Seattle area, the streets and many of the landmarks are very familiar, including Borracchinis's bakery (which still exists). However the stadium in the story is long gone. The detailed illustrations capture the clothing, cars, buildings, streets, and community of 1955. When Hueys beloved baseball team plays for the pennant, he is determined to watch. But he lost his ticket. Taking the reader along the streets and through the shops of 1955 South Seattle, Huey re-traces his steps. Only to discover the ticket in an unusual place. Huey finally gets to his seat during the bottom of the ninth inning. The remaining four pages are a nail-biting conclusion to the game. The announcer's commentary throughout makes for a fun story for both baseball fans and history buffs alike. A great book for baseball fans and history buffs. ... show more
