Readers Comments:
I really enjoyed this book. The illustrations are like caricatures and promote name to face recognition. This book gives exciting facts about what I consider to be America's favorite baseball team with the most heart! It is a great primer for all fans both present and future to learn about key players and the history of pennants won. The illustrations are extremely colorful and the A-Z format is a great way to promote letter recognition in a way children find fun and exciting. I think this real page turner for all ages that just happens to be informative. Go Cubs!
Age Appropriateness: All Ages can enjoy

This IS a great book--and I've seen some poor ones in my great search for baseball books for young children. The A-Z format is nice but not forced nor the main topic. Good choice.
