'Twas the Year of the World Series, by Debbie Clark (Mascot Books, $19.95, 2024, 34ppHB) Review by Skye Anderson
Souvenir to Save!
What a wonderful memory if you love baseball or if you are an Atlanta Braves fan or if you want to know every little detail about the 2021 World Series and the team that won it, after so long.
Incredible Illustrations!
We knew we would love 'Twas the Year of the World Series when we saw the crowds - on the inside front and back, on the cover, and on all but three pages of the book itself. Some views of the crowds were fuzzy, out of focus, because the eye is drawn to someone close to the 'lens' rather than in the background. The faces are grey and orange and white and black blobs but there is no question that they are faces in the crowd. And several pages are reminiscent of a scrapbook.
The Story - Six After Twenty-six
Every big name player down through the ages, every game of the 2021 World Series itself - all six with the Astros, and winning 4 to 2 games. What a way to celebrate and keep this striking souvenir children's book.
