For Nonfiction Monday:
"My First Book of Baseball: Mostly Everything Explained About the Game"
by Beth Bugler and Mark Bechtel with illustrations by Bill Hinds.
Parents and children will
enjoy this second book in the Rookie Book Series from Sports Illustrated for
Kids. Eye-catching photographs highlight a MLB game from the umpire
shouting "Play ball!" through the 7th inning stretch and on to the game-winning
grand slam!
Opening pages highlight the
basics of teams, innings, and diamond, layout the structure of the game, and
explain terms such as offense, defense, infield, and outfield with the help of
vivid illustrations.
Adult readers will appreciate
the cartoon dialogue bubbles that appear frequently throughout the photographs
offering thoughts or remarks from the various players.
Children will enjoy the
comic-strip style kid who leads the reader through the pages as he follows the
game from beginning to end and makes humorous comments on the action.
