5.0 out of 5 stars 7 year old loves these books!
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2018

The Little Rhino books are a great beginner chapter book series, especially for young baseball fans! These books tell the story of a third grader named Ryan (who goes by Rhino) who joins his first little league team. Unfortunately for Rhino, the meanest kid in his grade is also on the team, and he taunts and belittles Rhino and other kids every chance he gets. Readers will see how Rhino reacts and deals with the bullying, and read about some baseball along the way. Each of the Little Rhino books has a lesson and great message. We are on our way to collecting 6 of the books in this series, which are written by Ryan Howard of the Philadelphia Phillies.

If your child likes these books, he/she may also really enjoy the Baseball Mysteries series by David Kelly.

I hope you found my review helpful. If you did, please click the YES button! Thank you!

As a teacher I am always looking for books for my students, and finding ones that boys will enjoy is always a challenge. I am a huge Phillies fan, and Ryan Howard was such an inspirational player. When I found this series I decided to give it a try, and after reading the first book, I am eager to get the rest of the series for my class. Ryan and his wife did a terrific job with this book.

My 3rd grader hates reading but finished this over the summer and liked the story. I bought two copies and kept track of the words he struggled with which worked out SPLENDIDLY because the words kept reappearing in later chapters. The content is really great too as Rhino is a great example of someone who is kind, hard-working, and has good character. I am VERY satisfied with this purchase.

Failed to state for what grade level. Illustrations were lack luster and small (B&W). Too much detail for young readers. Fine for 8 year olds & up into baseball. Good team spirit and family values.
