A review by mmattmiller
Barbed Wire Baseball by Marissa Moss, Yuko Shimizu

3.0

I thought the story was okay, and the illustrations were good. The focus of this story is definitely on baseball, and what it takes to make a good, meaningful game (how to make a solid field, the bleachers, the fans...) I prefer the book "Baseball Saved Us", as it gives more information about the camps, and what was happening historically, what the people went through. Again, this one focuses on baseball. If I could only have one in my classroom, I'd stick with "Baseball Saved Us", but I'd be happy to add this one to my classroom library as well.
