Editorial Reviews

"[A] great starting points for research projects, fun to dip into for pleasure reading, and a great place for avid fans to start memorizing all the facts about every ball player they can think of! This would make a great gift for fans of Gutman's Baseball Card Adventures." — Ms. Yingling Reads
