Interactive And Informative Read!
This book was fun to read! It's a great book for any children interested in learning about basketball. I feel that the book started off strong with the history of basketball and it's origin. It flowed well into present day NBA basketball. The book's title states "for boys 9-12", but as an adult, I really enjoyed reading This book. Especially with how the book end with 100 basketball facts! My husband is a big NBA fan, so I enjoyed testing him on his knowledge. Would highly recommend this book!

My 9-year old loved it!
This book was great. My boy really enjoyed it. He thought the facts were very interesting but his favorite part was the GOAT section.
I thought the book was well-written. It was at a good level for the target audience age - not childish but written in an informative way they'd understand.
Now I'm off to go buy a basketball....
