I would use this book in a classroom as an option for students to write history reports on. Very informational read!
This is a great and easy read book for younger and older children. It's very informative and has a lot of good facts about Jackie Robinson's journey through the baseball league. This would be great for any child who loves baseball!
I chose this for #bbrc #er #blackmaincharacterpublishedbefore2000. It was hard to find an ER to fit this, as my library is really on top of weeding and replacing children‘s books as they age. This was 1st published in 1989, but had been reprinted. It needs a new update, but the info is good. The sentence structure & vocab used is great for new readers trying to become stronger readers. Inspiring story.
