Osborne, Mary Pope and Natalie Pope Boyce Magic Tree House Fact Tracker: Baseball, 117 pgs. CHAPTER BOOK
Random House, 2017. $6.99 Content: G.
This nonfiction book explains the rules of baseball including the
different positions played on the field and the equipment. The history of the sport and the ways that it
has changed over time are explained as well.
Because this book is a companion book to Magic Tree House #29: A Big Day for
Baseball there is a whole chapter on Jackie Robinson. There are also shorter biographies on a
couple of other influential players.
This is a very simple and basic explanation of the game of
baseball.
The reading level is easy and
if your reader likes nonfiction books, this is a great mix of history,
biography and how the game works. I read
this before I read A Big Day for Baseball and thought it was great to have
background information.
