Summary: Kirby Puckett's inspirational biography for kids
Comment: Kirby Puckett's "Be the Best You Can Be" combines his life story with his joyful philosophy of playing the game of baseball. Young readers will hear about how Kirby got grounded by his mom for getting his new suit torn playing baseball and how he went from being a high school third baseman with no power to a slugging centerfielder in the Major Leagues. Puckett talks about accepting his atypical build for a ballplayer, his joy over winning the batting title in 1989, and how great it was when the fan who caught the home run ball that won Game 6 of the 1981 World Series returned it to him. The book ends with "Kirby's Extra Innings," where he advises his young readers to "Keep on Plugging," "Remember to Have Fun," and to "Treat People Right." Greg Brown does a marvelous job of relating the story told to him because you really get the sense in this book that it is Kirby Puckett "speaking." The book is illustrated with both photographs of Puckett from grade school to the Minnesota Twins, along with watercolor paintings by Tim Houle. In terms of books where a sports star puts their name on the cover and really participates in its creation, this is a pretty classy book. But then, that is not surprising, given that we are talking about Kirby Puckett.
