Kids love nonfiction, and I'm sure this will appeal to baseball fans and be useful in the classroom, especially for teaching about segregation.

It's great that this fabulous resource is available in time for the anniversary. Great book for school libraries.

Great timing as always featuring this edition during the centennial.

This book sounds like it chronicles the story of this league quite well!

And I just heard about the Negro leagues in the news, probably because of the anniversary date. They really went through a lot to play baseball.Natalie Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756087804171246660noreply@blogger.com
