Editorial Reviews

04/01/2014
Gr 3–5—Each team is introduced through a thumbnail sketch of its history including high and low points, home stadium, and best players, though the rigid format hardly does justice to the 100-plus year history of teams such as the Yankees, Red Sox, and Cardinals. Mention is made of notable facts, such as the Yankees' 27 World Series championships, and great players like Ernie Banks (aka "Mr. Cub"), who stayed upbeat despite the Cubs' lack of winning seasons. Each team's place within the Major Leagues is explained ("The Philadelphia Phillies are a team in baseball's National League [NL]"). Text and graphics describe parts of a baseball diamond, and players' clothing and gear are detailed in colorful photos. All are clearly labeled, but some information (such as "bat" and "team pants") seems obvious. These books are appealingly designed, but the lack of depth will frustrate fans.
