(4) K-3 I Like Inventors! series. This introduction to James Naismith, the school minister who invented basketball, provides very basic information about his life, such as his upbringing and motivations, as well as the game itself; there’s little about its evolution, giving readers no sense of the magnitude of his achievement. Photos, many archival, are included in every spread. A related activity ends the title. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
