The Babe and I

(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Terry Widener. In this upbeat yet touching story set in the Depression, a boy and his father develop a bond of understanding when they learn each other's secrets--the father has lost his job, and the boy has become a "newsie" (who gets to see a real Yankee game one day with Babe Ruth's help). Widener's illustrations evoke the ambiance of the period in this book that is carefully paced and remarkable for its unified focus.
