The Basket Ball

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jennifer Plecas. When the boys won't let Lulu play basketball, she issues a call around the world to host a grand "Basket Ball." Teams of dressed-up girls in "jerseys sequined for the fete" and "high-top heels" shoot hoops all day. The rhyming text doesn't always scan, but high energy carries the story. Ink, watercolor, and gouache illustrations marry girliness with jockishness. Glos.
