This month I read the book Babe And Me by Dan Gutman. This book is about a boy named Joey who can time travel using baseball cards, him and his dad are trying to figure out if babe Ruth called his famous homer in the 1932 world series against the cubs in game three, so they time travel to 1932 and actually meet Babe Ruth. They run into some troubles such as Babe passing out, but they help him make it to the game.
My favorite character of the book is Joey. Joey is very brave going back in time to 1932 with his dad because people were less kind back then because it was during the Great Depression. He was also mature in the book like ordering for himself at restaurants and talking in the conversations between Babe and his dad. He is also kind in helping Babe when he passed out. This shows how compassionate Joey is even thought he just met Babe.
My favorite quote from the book is “That’s not a bad idea butch,” said by Joeys dad. I like this quote because it shows how Joey helps solve big problems with the adults and how he shows his maturity. Another reason I like this quote is because his dad is also talked to him like he was an adult and that shows Joeys maturity.
I liked this book because it is about a dad and a son bonding. Joeys parents are divorced so it is hard for him growing up. On this trip he has many experiences with his dad to make up for some of the time that he was not there. I also like this book because it is about a legendary sports player, Babe Ruth. This book expresses what 1932 was like and what New York looked like as well. This book is a good mixture of fantasy with the time travel, sports realated with Babe Ruth and the 1932 Yankees, and a father-son relaxation ship.
Where is the quote and explanation to prove his character trait? 🙂
