Review:
These well-designed titles encourage girls to get involved in sports and physical fitness. Each book is carefully structured with chapters discussing how the sport is played, the rules, teamwork, and health tips. Famous female athletes are profiled and a brief glossary defines the technical terms. Youngsters, especially reluctant readers, will be drawn to the vibrant photographs and large diagrams that aid novices in understanding the sport. --School Library Journal; Vol. 53, No. 7; Page 114, July 2007
Coleman s Slam Dunk introduction sets a fast-paced tone for serious basketball hopefuls. She begins with a description of the basic rules for the game and a discussion about fouls and violations. The book continues with player positions and strategy and provides tips on training and healthy diet. The ultimate goal for the reader is Olympic and WNBA competition, with a cautionary message that making it to the pros isn t easy. Inspirational quotes from pro players add color to the straightforward information: Offense sells tickets. Defense wins games. But rebounding wins championships. Showcased players like Sheryl Swoopes and Lisa Leslie set an aggressive athletic standard for both men and women. Their photos and short bios depict focused lives that are dedicated to excellence. This competitive title in the Snap Books Girls Got Game series concludes with a glossary and an index, and a brief bibliography of related reading includes a step-by-step guide to using FactHound.com. Intense, realistic, and easy to read. --Childrens Literature Comprehensive Database, January 2007
