The Legend of the Curse of the Bambino

32 pp. | Simon/Wiseman | March, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-689-87235-6 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by C. F. Payne. A larger-than-life Babe Ruth hovers over the Boston Red Sox at critical moments from his sale to the Yankees after the 1919 season through eighty-six years of World Series drought. Despite some affected dialogue and an awkward tale-within-a-tale format, an entertaining story is made more so through humorous illustrations featuring a wryly grinning Babe triggering Boston's most notorious losses. Bib.
