Who Was Jackie Robinson?

Author: Gail Herman
AR Level: 4.5 (1 point)
Lexile: 670

A Brief Word From Your Teacher:  I have finished another book in the Who Was series.  This time the book was about Jackie Robinson, and it takes you from his childhood in the south in 1920s through his retirement from baseball in 1956 and his Civil Rights Movement contributions in the 1960s.  The informational excerpts in this one include information about Jim Crow Laws, the Brooklyn Dodgers, mini biographies on other players of the time, the New York Yankees, and the Civil Rights Movement.

Grade: A-
