For the younger crowd, Sally Cook will share Good Night Pillow Fight, a colorful and captivating account of children who just don't want to go to bed. For the older gang, Cook's Hey Batta Batta Swing!: The Wild Old Days of Baseball will be read: a fun, colorful, and historical account of America's favorite pastime. Cook explores baseball's most famed players like Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. The book describes uniforms, players' numbers, team names and players' nicknames. Facts and anecdotes are written in a tuneful tone accompanied by charming vintage illustrations. The book will be handed out by the current New York Yankees at their opening day dinner.

Every child who attends will take home baseball cards adorned with cool baseball terms.
