Brothers at Bat is a true story of an all- brother baseball team. The story sequences the major life events of this family and their success as a baseball family. The brothers have a passion for the sport, but their game is put on hold for a period of time for another passion they follow. This book is inspiring for youngsters to follow their dreams and the closeness of family.
The illustrations are colorful drawings of the brothers throughout their lives. There are some pages that show brush strokes in the background, but the characters appear to be drawn.
Young boys would love this story especially if they are familiar with baseball and the family the story is written about. Girls might find it interesting that in this time period, boys were the only participants in sports.
BIG question:
If you had a family large enough, what would you like your family to be famous for? Why?
OR
Imagine you were a young girl in the Acerra family and you love baseball just as much as your brothers. How would you feel knowing that you could not be a part of the team?
