Being your best at basketball

Gr 2-4-Stuffed with rules, tips, and facts, these books will inspire students to work hard at their preferred sport. Descriptions of the most important rules make sure readers take the field (or court) with strong basic knowledge. While most children will have some firsthand knowledge of these topics, the technical descriptions of maneuvers would be better accompanied by photos. However, the included field or court diagrams are helpful. These books excel in their inclusion of diverse athletes-most notably in Basketball, which includes photos of a game of wheelchair basketball.
