Review Quotes




"I absolutely love that not only is this book full of NBA legends it's also full of WNBA Greats. It offers a great mix of story style biographies and stats about their careers. My nine year old son LOVES this book. It actually makes him WANT to read. So I'm one happy mama!" -- Customer Review

"Matt Chandler uses this topic to present biographies of major basketball players in Basketball Biographies for Kids...The biographies are well-written and age-appropriate, the language is understandable for the general reading level of the target group. The book includes ample resources making the book good as a research tool if used in the classroom. Also included are a glossary of terms and a useful index. I think this book is good for the classroom or home school library." -- Customer Review

"This book is good for a true basketball fan. It is packed with short bios with background information on the top players. Each bio is a snapshot that is more informative if you already have some background knowledge and interest in basketball. Perfect for a kid who loves basketball and has a few favorite teams and players. A good conversation starter if reading together and discussing." -- Customer Review
