Overview

Chicago Cubs fans and little ones will experience the sights, sounds, and sensations of Wrigley Field in this charmingly illustrated picture book

Every Cubs fan remembers their first trip to Wrigley Field. For parents, experiencing it all again through the eyes of their child may be even more special. 

My First Trip to the Bleachers captures this milestone through the many emotions and senses that shape a child’s perspective on a big, unforgettable day—from boredom on the car ride to the park to the sense of community during the seventh-inning stretch to the nail-biting nervousness of the ninth inning. From walking up to the big, bright-red marquee for the first time to singing “Go Cubs Go” after a win, taking in a game at Wrigley for the first time is a formative milestone.  

The excitement, wonder, and emotional roller coaster of a day at the ballpark come alive in this book for the newest generation of Cubs fans in the know.
