Basketball poem, it's very descriptive on movements relating to the game.

I read this book to a group of second graders and the boys loved it. I had them draw me a picture of what they thought could describe this book and almost all the boys had draw similar pictures. They each had their own touch to it and added something different and I loved hearing what they had to say about it. I saw some great drawings and this activity brought out their creative side and gave them a chance to be an illustrator a book with their own vision of the book.

One can live the game through this beautiful book.

This book is a descriptive poem about basketball and the way it feels to roll the ball in your hand, weave in and out of your opponents, and watch the ball swirl silently around the hoop. The poem is accompanied by realistic and descriptive pictures that help tell the story. ( )
