This book should be perfect for kids who like baseball - it's always nice to know the history of something you love. And the obstacles that were overcome in the internment camps, too.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-70930949792559102362013-05-21T07:45:44.320-04:002013-05-21T07:45:44.320-04:00Yes, it would be a wonderful companion book, proba...Yes, it would be a wonderful companion book, probably ideal for the Common Core.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-87165999875328328362013-05-21T07:45:06.401-04:002013-05-21T07:45:06.401-04:00I know what you mean.
