Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,727
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Great introduction into the sport of baseball
I love the game of baseball, and my boy is not so enthusiastic. I grabbed this book, and now he is engaged in the games and loves going to games. This book does a great job teaching life's lessons beyond the sport. Learning the ins and outs of the game is a strength this book has to offer. I would recommend this book for any kids who want to learn this amazing sport.

great intro to baseball
I decided to give this audiobook a try while babysitting my nephew, who’s so obsessed with sports, especially basketball. We’ve already listened to Jameson’s audiobook about basketball legends, so I thought this would be a fun way to introduce him to baseball. It’s a fantastic pick for young sports fans. The stories are inspiring, and Jameson does a great job breaking down baseball’s rich history. My nephew loved hearing about the legends and their home runs. If you want to get your kid into baseball, I think this would be a great pick!!
