(4) K-3 Cub Reporter Meets Famous Americans series. Illustrated by Doug Jones. Cub Reporter "interviews" the legendary African American baseball player. Robinson responds to simplistic questions about his complicated life in his own hokey "voice" ("I don't want to brag. But I was a good baseball player!"). Cartoons of a microphone-holding bear cub alternate with captioned photos that extend information. The premise may work for reluctant readers. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind.
