review 1: I cannot say enough about this fabulous text. You can enjoy it on so many levels. Read it for enjoyment, especially if you are a baseball fan. Take close note of the illustrations. As a Chicagoan, loved seeing Wrigley Field depicted. As a Sox fan, loved seeing Miller Park (note, bigger illustration than Wrigley, haha). Read it for the history, as Borden includes just a touch of information about the all the different leagues - Negro and Women's - information about how past presidents have impacted baseball, and she quickly nods to Roberto Clemente, Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson. Read it to learn more about the game of baseball. Use it for a mentor text for vocabulary. It's an amazing book.
review 2: Take me out to the ball game! I'm not even a basebal... morel fan, and I loved this book. With beautiful imagery and vivid sensory details, this book takes you inside the experience of baseball with joy and excitement. With tributes to baseball greats, the atmosphere of the ball park, and baseball's rituals, Borden creates a love letter to the great American game. The illustrations are beautiful, the word choice and design perfect. This book will be loved in my classroom. I'm going to wait to read it to my students on the Reds' opening day this year - March 31st. less
