Jackie Robinson
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This was a fairly good book. Sally Walker gave a good account of his life. I know that there is so much that could be written about Jackie Robinson but this short book covered all of the main points.I believe that it could have used a little bit more detail because in some parts of the story it makes big jumps. However, overall it is a good book for young children to read when learning about Jackie Robinson.
