Gus and Grandpa at Basketball

48 pp. | Farrar | September, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-374-32818-8 $$14.00
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Catherine Stock. Gus loves basketball practice, but actual games are a different story--everyone seems to be shouting incomprehensible instructions at him, especially his well-meaning but hard-pushing father. Grandpa shows Gus a way to tune out the noise and focus on the game. Mills portrays their supportive, loving relationship without being sentimental. Expressive illustrations accentuate the action, and early independent readers will easily relate to Gus's situation.
