Nelson, K. (2008). We are the ship: the story of negro
league baseball. New York, NY: Hyperion Books for Children.
This book tells of the courageous, talented and inspirational players and owners of the Negro League and how the league was formed and thrived until 1947. They overcame obstacles such as racism, low pay, terrible playing conditions, hatred to do the thing they enjoyed the most: play baseball/
Assignment # 2 - Informational - Evaluation Criteria
Organization, Style and Accuracy are the
criteria that
really stand out to me in this book. The
chapters are organized by Innings because the topic is baseball. There are End Notes expressing what is in
each chapter, an Index and an extensive bibliography lending to the accuracy of
this book. The style of the paintings, type face and
personal quotes from the players helps you feel the time period of this
informational book. It was hard to narrow down just one or two evaluation
criteria for this book because I believe it touches on each one.
