Though it looks like a picture book, Curlee’s look at the history of baseball and its parks is actually extremely text-dense - each full page of text accompanies a full-page illustration. Occasionally there is a two-page illustration, but thankfully no double pages of text. Baseball fans will love the information and older fans will love sharing memories with young friends.
