Who Was Jackie Robinson? Description
As a kid, Jackie Robinson loved sports. And why not? He was a natural at football, basketball, and, of course, baseball. But beyond athletic skill, it was his strength of character that secured his place in sports history. In 1947 Jackie joined the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking the long-time color barrier in major league baseball. It was tough being first- not only did "fans" send hate mail but some of his own teammates refused to accept him. Here is an inspiring sports biography, with black-and-white illustrations throughout.

This book is a short and simple, but very resourceful with `lots of information about Jackie Robinson and his life story. It has information about his birth and brings you into his amazing journey and tells you about his many accomplishments. It also has four pages at the end of the book which include Jackie Robinson's Baseball stats along with the timeline of his life. This book ends with a section that gives information about how Jackie Robinson was voted into the "Hall of Fame" and also it talks about how Jackie Robinson's "Breaking the Color Barrier" has change the course of history. I would recommend this book to anyone who is willing to find out about the "Big People of History" who literally changed it.
