W Is for Wrigley: The Friendly Confines Alphabet

32 pp. | Sleeping Bear | August, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58536-816-7 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by John Hanley. "The pitcher? He looks tense. / D is for dimensions, the distance from home to fence." This alphabet book, an uneasy coupling of lengthy trivia and historical passages and uneven rhyming poems, will appeal mostly to Chicago Cubs fans. Hanley's accomplished paintings are the standout feature, from crowd scenes and action shots to portraits of famous Cubbies and the ivy-covered walls.
