Horn Book Review

Designed for independent readers "ready for chapters," the leveled text introduces a selection of NBA legends including Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James; a "More Greats" section gives quick shout-outs to some additional stars. The cursory bios provide an accessible starting point for young scholars of the game. Color photographs and a stats sheet for each player are included. (c) Copyright 2016.
