It's not every day you find Hammerin' Hank Aaron and Philip Roth in the same place. But you will in this unique compendium on America's pastime, along with a warm and nostalgic pastiche of writers and voices spanning a variety of topics: prejudice and corruption in professional ball, the mysteries of the diamond, split-finger fastballs, on-and-off-field heroism and high jinks. Grover Gardner warmly intones the commentary alongside aging sportswriters and boys of both summer and October. A must for any fan of the game, but particularly those with a sense of history. D.J.B.

PreS-Gr 2- In Big Lunch, Pete decides to make a sandwich. Of course, the more he adds, the bigger it becomes. This is a good thing because he is really, really hungry. He forgets to remove the wrappers and adds cans, jars, and boxes to the ever-teetering tower of items. As he piles on the food, children's giggles will grow right along with the expanding "sandwich." Once it becomes too big for the small cat to consume, he must think of a clever solution to his dilemma, which he does with a little help from his friends. In Play Ball!, Pete is baseball ready and his team, the Rocks, are facing the Rolls in a big game. The players warm up and, when the game is over, both sides greet one another with high fives. Even though Pete does not play his best game, he has a good attitude about making mistakes and not being sad about errors he made. This is a great title to spark a discussion about sportsmanship. In both books, simple cartoon art in bold colors and large text make the books a treat for beginning readers.-Janene Corbin, Rosebank Elementary School, Nashville, TN
