Babe Didrikson Zaharias: All-Around Athlete

48 pp. | Carolrhoda | March, 2000 | Library ISBN 1-57505-421-3 $$19.93
(4) K-3 Carolrhoda On My Own Books series. Illustrated by Jeni Reeves. This simply written book focuses on three periods in Babe's life: her childhood in Beaumont, Texas, her years as a high school basketball star and budding all-around athlete, and her accomplishments at the 1932 Olympics. Her later golf career is discussed in the brief afterword. The flatly written prose is accompanied by effective colored pencil illustrations. A time line is included.
Reviewer: Peter D. Sieruta
