My First Book of Basketball, the sixth book in the best-selling Rookie
Book series from Sports Illustrated Kids, coaches young kids through the
game of basketball with a visual retelling of a professional basketball
game--from the jump ball to the game-winning basket! Dribbling, passing,
traveling, shooting, dunks, and more are all explained using a fun mix
of Sports Illustrated action photography, simple text, a full glossary
of terms, and awesome graphics. Illustrated "Rookie" characters--a girl,
Gabby, and a boy, Sprat--appear on every page, providing fun facts and
simple explanations to help kids better understand the game. Perfect for
emerging readers from preschool up, My First Book of Basketball is
meant to be a shared reading experience between parents and their little
rookies before, during, and after the game.
