so-so2.5 ⭐This is written by a celebrity author, and it feels that way. If you‘re old enough, you may remember Saturday morning specials or those after school specials where they get a celebrity to come in and teach a very valuable lesson. They were almost always cheesy and overacted. If you put that into a book, it would be this book. First off this book is massively too long for a picture book.
“The only ones who knew how brave they were, were the soldiers themselves. They saw what they saw fighting the war but stayed brave until their mission was accomplished.“
“The ball spins. The crowd roars. And with a swish- nothing but net”
I wouldn‘t use this book in my classroom
so-soI enjoyed reading this book. I had always been curious about the Harlem Globetrotters and wanted to learn more
“ with their fancy footwork, fast passes, and one-handed dunk shots“
This book would be great to add to groups that lvoes sports. It is an instpriactional book about perserverance and how the globtrotters were formed and got their “act“ kids would love this book
pickSwish!: The Slam-Dunking, Alley-Ooping, High-Flying Harlem Globetrotters | Suzanne Slade (2010). This is the true story of how the harlem globtrooter came to be. The ilistrations add a sense of whim to this biograpghy, but keep true to the facts of how the most exciting baskeball team was created.
Globetrotters win 61-59!
The topics in this book are deep but important for students to understand America's history of racism and discrimination. This story gives hope to students who have faced hate and discrimination because they are different. It shows that everyone can be successful no matter their skin color.
