Review by Booklist Review

This colorful volume from the Major League Baseball Teams series (30 titles) presents basic information on the Chicago White Sox in an attractive format. A typical double-page spread offers information in a paragraph of large-print text, opposite a full-page photo. Topics include the team's origins, opponents, fans, Big Days, Tough Days, past heroes, and current favorites. In addition, one spread features a photo of their ballpark, with landmarks such as the pitcher's mound, first base, and the foul lines helpfully labeled for novices. The upbeat text provides basic information, while the color photos, often showing players in action, bring energy to the presentation. Some readers will want more information, but for young fans or kids new to the sport, this offers a visually appealing introduction to one of the American League's original teams.--Carolyn Phelan Copyright 2019 Booklist
