Leventhal, J. (2000). Take Me Out to the Ballpark. New York: Black Dog & Leventhal.

Take Me Out to the Ballpark is an outstanding informational book that appeals to kids and adults alike. It covers all of the major league ballparks as well as many of the minor league parks and it contains lots of historical information. This book also contains lots of photographs and statistics. It also contains lots of interesting informaion on various athletes and ballpark foods. I ave found that middle school students really love this book - both boys and girls. One of the things I really like about Take Me Out to the Ballpark is that there is literally no age limit on this fun book - everyone likes it.
