| Gr. 1-3. Grinning broadly as he looms monumentally over everyone in Walz's exuberant cartoons, Babe Ruth cuts a truly heroic figure for Murphy's easy-to-read tribute to the greatest ball player of them all. The author also adds some dimension to the Babe's oft-told tale, suggesting that Ruth's true greatness rests not so much in his statistical totals as in the way that his character and exciting style of play redeemed baseball in the wake of the Black Sox scandal of 1919. It's a cogently made argument--and the lighthearted tone in which Murphy delivers it may make this more appealing than the overheated melodrama of Robert Burleigh's 'Home Run' (1998). A solid hit for the Step into Reading series. ((Reviewed June 1 & 15, 2005)). John Peters. 48pg. AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION, c2005. |

| (3) K-3 A lively, interactive narrative tells of Babe Ruth's love of baseball and his desire to restore integrity to the game following the 1919 Black Sox scandal. Expressive cartoon illustrations enhance the tall-tale telling of baseball's favorite hero during his days with both the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. An author's note is included. TLD. 48pg. THE HORN BOOK, c2005. |
