ARLINGTON, VA, June 03, 2011 (Press-News.org) "Game-Day Youth: Learning Basketball's Lingo" has been named to the "Best Books for Teen Boys" list by Michael Sullivan, a nationally known author and expert on boys and reading, and the New Hampshire Library Media Association.
Regarding the book, Sullivan said, "From the 'Game-Day Goddess' comes a book on the language of basketball for the complete novice. What makes this book special? It covers not just the official terms, but slang as well. Where else are you going to find a definition of a "ticky-tack foul"? A bit simplistic for the sports buff, but for anybody who wants to sit down next to dad and watch a game, this is the dictionary for you."
Beamer Bohnert's sixth book and second in the Game-Day Youth Sports Series has simple text, clear illustrations of the court and its markings, drawings of where the players play on the court, and pictures of the official's signals. The book will help readers to know more about playing basketball, the players and positions, basic rules, and the meaning of basketball words.
Millions watch basketball games at gyms, arenas, or on TV. Others listen to games on the radio. Youths play the game in gyms and schoolyards, getting great exercise, working on their skills, and attending practices to learn more about a fantastic and fun team sport.
Whether you recently signed up for the basketball team, watch a brother or sister play, or want to learn more about this game, this book is for you.
B&B Publishing is the book's publisher.
