Cricket Kidz and the Magic Cricket Ball - Paperback

by Ben Rispin (Author), Greg David (Illustrator)

Smash! Danny hits a massive six and the ball disappears into the bushes. Gabby runs after the ball, after a bit of a search she finds it, but it's filthy!

As she cleans it on her trousers, the ball suddenly blinks, a white beard grows and a hat appears on its head. The ball then says "Thank you for freeing me" But just at that moment...."

AND THEN THE ADVENTURE BEGINS..

Cricket Kidz is a fun, action-packed story about a team of kids who discover a muddy old cricket ball, only to find out it is really a genie!

When they're challenged to a match by the Big Kids, the genie grants them magical powers: flaming fast bowling, tornado-spinning deliveries, lightning-quick fielding, and much, much more.

It may not be a Wisden, but this book is a great cricket book for kids, part bedtime story, part gentle introduction to the game. A charming way to share the basics of cricket rules, gameplay and timeless terminology for all cricket kids.
