My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/301254783">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
In luminous artwork that plays so beautifully with shadows, illustrator Jim Burke manipulates perspective in interesting ways, such as one page that provoked my husband to look over and joke..."He's so big, what team was he on? The Giants!" Truly Wagner was a giant, and one of my favorite writers, Jane Yolen, gently reveals so many reasons for his status.
<br/>
<br/>If you love picture books, read it.
<br/>If you love picture book art, enjoy it.
<br/>If you love American history... sports... baseball... inspiring stories... Get it!
