Brothers at Bat: The True Story of an Amazing All-Brother Baseball Team by Audrey Vernick

5.0

I saw this recommended in USA Today in a story about baseball books for kids. I really enjoy books that help me discover interesting, real-life stories, whether they are picture books or full length. While reading this, kids will also learn about life in an earlier time. The pictures are very well done, the text is not too long, but not too brief, and the appendix at the end includes some photos and explanations. Kids will probably be amazed to learn that families with 16 children were not all that unusual a century ago. Great book to use with students.
