Easy and fun text and pictures to help even those who don't know baseball
This is a book that will help you quickly understand baseball.

Thanks to this baseball book that is easy to understand even if you just glance at it, just like the title suggests.
I wish there were more people who liked baseball.
_Lee Jong-beom (LG Twins coach)

This book explains baseball rules and common sense in an easy and fun way.
When I was young, I went to the baseball stadium to cheer on my father.
I think this would be a good book for kids to read before going to the baseball field.

I hope you can truly experience the charm of baseball through this book.
Lee Jung-hoo (Kiwoom Heroes player)

This is the most fun baseball book I've ever read!
Meet baseball with quirky and entertaining questions!

Baseball is a sport with complex rules.
That's why, to truly enjoy baseball, you need to know the rules and the meaning of the records.
Without this basic information and knowledge, a baseball game that lasts well over two hours can be quite boring.
Also, baseball has many confusing rules and interesting records.
The beginning and development of baseball is also interesting.
This is precisely why the book, “Children’s Baseball Common Sense That Sticks in Your Head Even with a Quick Look,” was created.

A baseball reporter tells vivid baseball stories as they are told, asking questions and finding answers about baseball that he wants to share with children, based on what he sees, hears, and feels on the field.
By following these unique and entertaining questions that will help you understand baseball properly, such as "What is a shortstop?", "Why are there stitches on a baseball?", and "What kind of hit is a hit?", you will learn all about the mysterious world of baseball.
A child who is new to baseball will learn the game easily and enjoyably, and a child who is familiar with baseball will be able to understand the rules and information more deeply and become a 'baseball expert' who shows off his baseball knowledge.

From basic baseball knowledge to useful information
A fun baseball book for the whole family to enjoy together
