From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8-Ichiro Suzuki, the most famous star in his native country, came to the U.S. for the 2001 baseball season, was the first Japanese non-pitcher to play in the major league, and proved that he was one of the best ballplayers in the world. This entertaining biography describes that season in detail, and includes a brief history of baseball in Japan from the 1870s to the present. Suzuki's personality, determination, dedication to practice, cultural adjustments, and more are all discussed. A 10-page insert of black-and-white photos is included, along with two pages of stats and career highlights. The 2002 season is not discussed. The name Matt Christopher is featured prominently on the title page and cover.
