Did you know Ernie Banks is Mr. Cub?

19. Lew Freedman "Cubs Essential: Everything You Need to Know to Be a Real Fan"
You don't need this book to be a real fan.

The book is advertised as part history book, part quiz. It doesn't do either well. It reads like each chapter was written without much thought of the others. I read that Ernie Banks is Mr. Cub in four separate chapters. While it's not a bad thing to remind that reader that Ernie Banks is loved in Chicago, it's pointless to keep preaching to the choir.

I received this book from a book sale. I read the book in one day. Spending no money and little time on this thing was good enough. I do recommend this thing for children. For a better book about the Cubs, read "The Cubs" by Glenn Stout and Richard A. Johnson.
