(3) K-3 Smart about History series. Illustrated by Tracy Mitchell. This overview of the Negro baseball leagues provides historical background, introduces major players such as Rube Foster and Satchel Paige, and touches on the integration of the major leagues in the 1940s. The presentation--a fictional school assignment by a student, complete with childlike drawings mixed in with photos--is a bit contrived, but the information is sound and the lively tone has kid appeal.
