Mar 21, 2013

USA Today covers four kids' books from Abbott and Costello to Babe Ruth to R.A. Dickey and illustrator Aaron Meshon's book "Take Me Out to the Yakyu". In Japan baseball has been the most popular US imported sport since 1872. Aaron offers a simple bilingual lesson on how the game is the same and different in the two countries.

The illustrations in "Yaku" are fun in Meshon's style and the story broadens your knowledge on how America's favorite pastime is played in Japan.
