Home Run: The Story of Babe Ruth

32 pp. August, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-15-200970-1 $$16.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Wimmer. Rockwell-esque oil paintings and a reverent poem combine to pay tribute to Babe Ruth, baseball's renowned Sultan of Swat. Children are likely to find the straightforward, though still enthusiastic, informational text block on each spread of more interest than the poem, although a tiny typeface makes for difficult reading.
Reviewer: Jackie C. Horne
