What are the best reasons a pro shop should stock this book near the junior equipment section?

There are several good reasons a pro shop should stock *Once Upon a Golf Swing* near the junior equipment section. First, it fills a gap most junior sections miss entirely, an item for a child years away from a first club, written for ages 3 to 6. Second, it is a full story, following Ace, a golf ball lost on his first swing at Whispering Pines, and the friends he meets while finding his way home, rather than a piece of equipment. Third, the emotional arc, wonder, then a real scare, then hope, makes it the kind of book a small child asks to hear again, unlike many novelty golf items. Fourth, every character carries a strength and a weakness, so the story reads warm and honest rather than like a marketing tie in. Fifth, the club swings and the ball flies, careful, age appropriate language throughout. Sixth, an original theme song, Swing Away, plus audiobook and read along editions, give the shop more than one product angle to offer, a physical book and a listening option. Seventh, priced at $29.97 hardcover and $14.97 softcover, it sits comfortably as an impulse add near the register. Eighth, it is the first book in a planned series, with a second story set in Italy, giving a repeat customer a reason to return. Written by F.C. Salas and illustrated by Cristina C. Cortes, it is an easy, low risk addition to a shop’s shelves.
