McMahon, Dave. Baseball Skills: How to Play Like a Pro.
Enslow, 2008, 48p, $23.93, 978-0-7660-3204-0.
The author has written a very nicely defined text for youngsters to gain an insight into the baseball skills necessary to succeed in the sport.
The inclusion of several lists, where to obtain more information, and a glossary/index make this a useful research tool. The inclusion of web sites for youngsters is also important in school classrooms today.
The flow and balance of both the text and full color visuals are integrated to present a very stimulating read for both young and reluctant readers.
I feel this series will be very popular with young readers and librarians. It has a visual appeal with its various page formats and colorful photos or graphics.
Several kids have looked at it and wanted to keep it longer so that they could study it. LM
