From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-Line-and-crayon drawings in soft tones depict a multicultural cast of cartoon children enjoying a day at a country golf course. Park animals, including a bluebird that appears on every page, creatively assist, but are less successfully rendered than the cheery golfers. The authors use simple sentences in large type for beginning readers, who may be forgiving of the lack of plot. Details like a carp retrieving a golf ball from a pond may please youngsters, but there is little information about the sport or how to play it.

Intro to golf fun for the very young
This is a great book for those who want to introduce young children to the concept that golf is fun! My 3 children have enjoyed this book since they were very young and it has helped my 4 yr old son develop an interest in the sport. At a young age it's most important to focus on how much fun the game can be and not get caught up with being concerned that your children will actually build sand castles in the traps. The author, a PGA pro, really did a nice job on this book!

First golf book
I returned this book because it has absolutely nothing to do with golf--sand castles in the bunker and kids rolling around on the green. I guess adding lightning to the rainstorm might have taught one lesson in the book. It certainly doesn't portray the behavior I want from my children on or near a course.

A fun and charming story!
What a charming book...and quite fun to read. It is a great book for the beginning reader. My first-grader loves that she can read it herself. The illustrations are so colorful and fun, even my 2 year old is captivated by the pictures. A great find!
