Golenbock, Peter

K-3
Illustrated by
Dan Andreasen.
This is an unusual alphabet book in that it lists numerous examples for each letter. For example, B lists twelve items, from Babe to bunt. A brief definition is included for each term, giving the reader a broad overview of the vocabulary and an understanding of baseball. Muted illustrations enhance the book, and an addendum extends the concise test.

K-3
Illustrated by
Paul Lee.
Golenbock describes the paradoxical experience of Hank Aaron, the baseball star who broke Babe Ruth's lifetime home-run record but endured numerous threats to his life as he pursued his goal. An especially good cover portrait and many effective oil paintings extend the well-synthesized telling and underscore the variety of emotions explored in the text.
