review 1: What a cool book! It's different from most other books on Jackie Robinson as well as most books on Christmas holidays. It's really interesting. Fans of baseball stories, civil rights, New York stories, Jewish families, intermingling religious practices, and facing adversity would be right at home with this one. Of course, E.B. Lewis does a tremendous job illustrating as he always does. This is a beautiful book.
review 2: Christmas in Brooklyn will be Jackie Robinsons family’s first, with help from his neighbor, fan. They have dealt with prejudice but he did gain a friend. He found out that his neighbor didn’t have a Christmas tree, he tried to do something special for them. The neighbors don’t celebrate Christmas because they are Jewish. This is a great s... moretory for students because it is a true story, funny, and touching. less
