Oliver's Game

32 pp. | Candlewick | March, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-1852-7 $$15.99
(3) K-3 When Oliver finds an old Chicago Cubs uniform packed away in a box, his grandfather reminisces about the day he wore it at Wrigley Field--an experience never repeated due to an injury he sustained in World War II. Finely detailed pencil illustrations, accented with sepia tones during Grandpa's recollections, combine with the nostalgic text to pay homage to baseball and sacrifices.
Reviewer: CHristine Sarrazin
