Swinging for the Fences: Hank Aaron and Me

40 pp. | Chronicle | April, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8118-5662-1 $15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Kim. This coupling of a Little Leaguer's struggles at the plate and Hank Aaron's historic season in which he broke Babe Ruth's home run record never really finds its equilibrium. Mark can't stop swinging for the fences until he meets his hero, who advises him to concentrate on getting RBIs. The acrylic illustrations are stiff but nicely capture some moments. Bib.
