 * Things we liked: The pictures were realistic and they showed facial expressions well. The author was able to show how characters were feeling rather than just telling us. It is interesting that there are newspaper clippings inside the front and back covers.
 * Things we liked: It was cool when the dad came home with tickets to go to the baseball game the first time. We liked the part when the boy and his dad tossed the ball to practice.  The ending was special.  Jackie Robinson threw the ball to the boy's dad and he caught it.  It would be really special to gt that ball.
