I'm getting so excited for baseball season to start up. I've been reading a book called The Unforgettable Season with Nico, so I'm definitely ready for the season to start up. It's a short picture book about Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams, two guys who set records that have not been broken. Joe was a Yankees outfielder who got a hit in 56 straight games. That's incredible! Ted was on the Red Sox and he had another amazing feat, batting .400 for the entire season! The author shares how each player wasn't liked by the fans for a while, but now they're two of the most famous ball players of all times. I like the illustrations, and it's so easy to read. Nico, would you give it 2 thumbs-up? If anybody wants to borrow it, I have a copy. I'd like to read another baseball book, but maybe expand my reading group to 5-6 boys. Any 5th grade boys interested? I'll take the first 5-6 who post on the blog. Let me know if you have any recommendations. I'm thinking Honus and Me or Jackie and Me.
Just a quick update on my own reading, too. I'm reading Surviving Hitler that Luke C recommended. I'll keep you posted.
Yes I would give The Unforgettable Season two thumbs up. I would also be delighted to participate in your small reading group, if I'm not disqualified from the group for being a Red Sox fan. I'm looking forward to reading the books!
