Fore! Lookout for the latest shot from the Sleeping Bear Press sports title: P is for Putt: A Golf Alphabet. Look no further than the ever-growing popularity of Tiger Woods and Michelle Wie to see that golf is a sure-fire hit in the hearts of youngsters. And adults! This fun and educational ABC book takes a look at golf's illustrious history and stars in easy-to-read rhyming text that follows the heroics of Babe Didrikson Zaharias to the splendor of the Master to the mystery of the dimples of every golf ball. Sport-loving Brad Herzog brings his pen power to skillfully explain the game on grass and the characters and legends that make golf as fun as it is difficult to master. No matter what course hackers step upon - their local public course or the majesty of Pebble Beach, golf is a game full of color and colorful character and history. Artist Bruce Langton brings his outdoor eye to capture the rich and lustrous palette of the sport of swings. A perfect gift for the sport nut, amateur golfer or anyone who has dreamed of playing alongside the greats, P is for Putt: A Golfer's Alphabet is a welcome addition to any golf bag, bookshelf or 19th hole. Once the book is opened, it won't be put down until every fun, fact-filled page has been shared and shared some more. Teeing off this April!
The book was in great condition and arrived in plenty of time. This book was a birthday gift for my son. Guests that attended the birthday party signed the inside of the book. This book is age appropriate for many readers. It has the ABC version of the story for younger readers to listen and relate to. Older children would enjoy reading and learning the history of golf with the added text in the margins. The pictures are soft and pleasing to the eye. My son will enjoy this book for many years to come.

This book is beautiful for a boy or a girl of any age. My 2 1/2 year old has to have it read to him every night. It also has extra info as they grow.
Great book for girls and boys!

I bought this book for my brother-in-law to have at his house to read to my daughter when she visits...I was hesitant that it would be too "boy-ish". What a great surprise that this book's illustrations bring the game of golf alive for both genders of all ages. Great find!
