I have the book 'The Babe Ruth Ballet School' by Tim Shortt here in my
library. It is a story about Babe Ruth and a 9-year-old Issy Archer, who
"was the best pitcher on the powerful 1923 New York Yankee team." Issy
takes up ballet and the Babe is upset because " dancing is so girlish."
And, of course, Issy points out that she IS a girl.
Now my question, why is this cataloged as a biography? The call number is
796.357.
I find this story to be highly unlikely, and when I read it to the 1st
graders, they questioned why it was shelved as a "number" book which means
"it's a true book."
Can someone shed some light on this?
Thanks bunches.
