      I have to confess, even though this is a book for kids, I quite enjoyed it! And I actually learned two things about the Dodgers (my favorite team!) that I didn't know - #1 why the Dodgers' dugout is along the third base side, and #2 why the seats in Dodger Stadium are colored the way that they are. Want to know the answers too? Read the book!
