What a wonderful book for all Cub fans! The rhyming text, the interesting facts, the humorous illustrations, everything about this book is superb. My whole family enjoys it from my three year old daughter to my husband, one of the biggest Cub fans ever. I recommend it for all!

5.0 out of 5 stars
A fun look at the Cubs over the last 100 years,
By Michael Erisman (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For the Love of the Cubs: An A-to-Z Primer for Cubs Fans of All Ages (Hardcover)
I was given this by a friend at a recent birthday. What a fun book! It is basically a children's book, one that I will read to my own kids. Wonderfully illustrated and with a look at Cub players from "A to Z". All the greats are here including Banks, Williams, Kessinger, Sosa, Sandberg, Jenkins, Wood, Prior, and even the late Harry Carey.
Growing up a Cubs fan, there is always something special and magical about this team. Of course they never win anything, but like an old-timer said in an interview outside of Wrigley after the Cubs lost in game 5 of the NLCS last year: "They wouldn't be the Cubs if they didn't break your heart!" If you are a Cubs fan then this a great book for you. It will be in the shelf in my kid's rooms for quite a while, as hopefully they too will have the character building experience that is being a Cubs fan.

Nice book, but discolored,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: For the Love of the Cubs: An A-to-Z Primer for Cubs Fans of All Ages (Hardcover)
This is a great book for Cubs lovers, however the book we recieved was slightly yellowed on the bottom and one side (about an inch wide). Not MAJOR discoloration, but certainly noticable, and not just the dustjacket, but all of the pages, too.
