The Basket Counts

48 pp. | Simon | February, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-689-80108-4 $$17.00
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Michael Weaver. Adoff invites young basketball fans to come play the game of poetry in this collection of twenty-eight poems. The "shaped speech" format of the poems mirrors the action of the sport, and Weaver's soft yet energetic illustrations match the swirl of emotions in the poems. Commendably, all basketball players are included: girls, boys, and wheelchair athletes.
