There Goes Ted Williams: The Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived

40 pp. | Candlewick | February, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-2789-8 $16.99
(2) K-3 Present-tense narrative lends drama and immediacy to Tavares's all-smiles-and-heroics biography of Boston Red Sox slugger Williams. Watercolor, gouache, and pencil illustrations depict Williams as large as a double-page spread can hold. The less smiley and heroic side to Williams's character is reserved for an interesting author's note. Published in time for Fenway Park's centennial celebrations, this full-of-life biography is a hit. Bib.
