MICHAEL TEITELBAUM has been a writer and editor of children’s books for more than thirty years. He worked on staff as an editor at Golden Books, Grossett & Dunlop, and Macmillan. In addition to The Scary States of America, Michael’s fiction work includes The Very Hungry Zombie: A Parody, and The Very Thirsty Vampire: A Parody both done with artist extraordinaire Jon Apple, published by Skyhorse.

Michael has always had an interest in the paranormal, despite a rather normal childhood in Brooklyn, NY. These days, Michael lives with his wife, Sheleigah, and two talkative cats in an (as yet unhaunted) 180-year-old farmhouse in the beautiful Catskill Mountains of upstate New York.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great American Hero
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2010
This biography of one of America's most beloved heroes is terrific. It masterfully blends Jackie Robinson's personal history, sports history, and mid-century American history into a page-turner.

The book is beautifully layed-out with information side boxes that are screaming to be read. Some of the subjects include the minor-league farm system, the NAACP, Branch Rickey, Mack Robinson, the Brooklyn Dodgers, Red Barber, and Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

The reader is drawn into the career-long struggle of Jackie Robinson to play baseball on equal terms and with equal regard as his teammates. The inequities he suffers as a result of racism helps motivate Jackie Robinson to committing himself to work for the remainder of his life for civil rights.

Americas's favorite pastime is presented in all it's glory in this book. The famous players, plays, trades, and managers associated with the hero, Jackie Robinson, are here.
