Attention Baseball Fans: Visit an eMuseum This Summer

I went to a Newark Bears baseball game this weekend and at the stadium there was a traveling exhibit from the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. It was really facinating and I thought, "I would love to visit this museum". Unfortunately, the muesum is in Kansas City, Missouri (that's far). Luckily, we can travel there from the comfort of our own homes by visiting the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum's eMuseum. It's chock full of great stuff like player and team profiles, interview videos and a large photo archive and more. A great companion to this wonderful website is the equally wonderful book

We Are The Ship, by Kadir Nelson. It's fantastic summer reading.

Moose Crossing in September

Another book to keep an eye out for this fall is Al Capone Shines My Shoes, Gennifer Choldenko's sequel to the wonderful Al Capone Does My Shirts. I was lucky enough to get a copy and it's just as good as the first one. So if you're a fan of Moose and company, the book will be available September 8th and you can visit Gennifer Choldenko's website for a small excerpt. If you've never read Al Capone Does My Shirts, do yourself a favor and put in on your summer reading list, right now!

Keep an Eye out for Grandma Dowdel

Grandama Dowdel, the surly senior from A Long Way from Chicago and A Year down Yonder will be back in another tale by Richard Peck called A Season of Gifts. It's due out September 17th, so fans of the other books should keep a lookout for it.
