Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 1-4--The author, obviously a Brooklyn Dodger fan, has related from his memory a day at the game with his best buddies back in 1946. This was a day when the Dodgers played the New York Giants, their arch rivals from across the river. The illustrations are much more colorful and animated than the text, which consists of naming his friends and the players, walking to the game, eating, watching, catching a ball in the stands, the Dodgers winning, and going home. There's not much here to hold a young baseball fan's interest. --Blair Christolon, Prince William Library, Manassas, VA

This review is from: Brooklyn Dodger Days (Hardcover)

I read this book to my first graders every year on opening day. For years Washington did not have a baseball team and I did what I could to make the sport come alive for them. We read numerous baseball books that day and this was a perennial favorite. A good book to show them what it was like in a bygone era. Glad I have a copy!
