(4) 4-6 Behind the Moves series. Intended for older readers with low reading skills, these books use flashy graphics, plenty of white space, simple sentences, and large photographs that correlate with the text. Each book defines the sport, explains a variety of fancy tricks, and concludes with a discussion of safety. The organization is simple and the text uninspired, but the books fill an important niche and will appeal to a wide audience. Bib., glos., ind.
