The Streak: How Joe Dimaggio Became America's Hero by Barb Rosenstock
3.0
Joe DiMaggio is one of America's best known baseball players. This is a picture book biographical tale of what he became famous for and how it happened. DiMaggio was playing baseball at the same time that World War II was occurring, so many people looked for diversion through entertainment such as sports. DiMaggio gave them something to dream about with his long and impressive hitting streak during the summer of 1941.
There is an author's note at the back with additional information about DiMaggio as well as other great baseball players. There is also a list of additional resources with information about DiMaggio.
Personally, I did not like the impressionistic feel of the illustrations; I do not feel like they added to the story.
