Review

These non- fiction editions of Magic Tree House books are outstanding! There are so many of them now on so many different subjects it's hard to keep track of them all. This is book number 29 and it's Baseball! The book covers the beginning of baseball, some of the top players with all kinds of interesting facts about them and their lives both professional and home. Did you know that in 1999 Orlando Hernandez was pitching and when he caught the hit ball and tried to throw it to first base the ball was stuck in his mitt! So he whipped off his glove and threw the ball, glove and all, to the first baseman and got the runner out! I highly recommend these books to all my junior readers.

Overall Book Score: very good
