BookList - Chris Sherman
Rookie readers and fans will enjoy this very basic introduction to baseball. Blackstone's simple, declarative sentences, reminiscent of controlled-text primers, lack excitement, but O'Brien's lively, full-page, watercolors provide lots of action, expand the text, and offer a great opportunity for parents or other adults to explain the finer points of the grand old game. Beginning readers familiar with the sport may be able to read the book to themselves or to their friends.
