Book Reviews of Max (Reading Rainbow Books)
Book Review: Shaped my life...
Summary: 5 Stars
As a little boy, baseball was most certainly my first and only love...it was the reason this book was requested by me to be read everynight, and soon memorized word for word...at the time, girls and ballet were unimportant to me. However, as a college student-athlete (the only first baseman in the league who can do the splits!) deeply involved in gender studies, in particular the importance of examining an American culture that makes things such as boys unnaceptable, and also a participant during high school in the musicals and shows, I realized that this book had an instrumental role in creating this awareness within me at a young age...a big personal thanks to Rachel Isadora for such an inspiring and thought-provoking book...she hit a home run...
Summary of Max (Reading Rainbow Books)
ALA Notable Children's BookInternational Reading Association Classroom Choice
A Notable Children's Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies
Max is a crack baseball player. Saturday mornings he walks with his sister, Lisa, to her dancing school on his way to the park for his weekly game. One morning Max is early, and Lisa's teacher invites him to join the class. Max stretches at the barre. He struggles for a split. And before he knows it, he's having fun! Young ballplayers and ballet dancers will share Max's delight when he discovers that dance class is a great way to warm up for a home run.
