Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In a starred review PW said, "Anyone who has played basketball on a hot city playground or followed it courtside will respond to the sensuous, tactile tone of this poetic description of the game. Marvelous pastel drawings of teenagers on the court paired with the book's design turn up the heat." Ages 5-8. (Oct.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
Children's Literature
The pastel images of these basketball players are magnificent. You can feel the game, the power of the girl as she drives to the basket, and the strength and skill of the other players as they dribble, twist, turn and leap in this fast moving pickup game. The words in white are inset in black frames and should be read aloud, because they echo what one sees in the pictures. You don't have to be a sports fan to enjoy this book, but sports fans are sure to like it. It would also serve as a good choice for the reluctant reader or as an introduction to poetic text.

Gr 2 UpA handful of kids, a neighborhood court, and a ball are the elements that spring explosively to life in this ode to the game that captures the energy, the elation, the sheer poetry of basketball. (Nov. 1997)
School Library Journal
Gr 2 Up--A handful of kids, a neighborhood court, and a ball are the elements that spring explosively to life in this ode to the game that captures the energy, the elation, the sheer poetry of basketball. (Nov.)
Kirkus Reviews
Clumsy writing mars this otherwise breathless, evocative tribute to top-speed playground b-ball. Johnson demonstrates his brilliant technical versatility, switching from the photo- realistic stills of Alphabet City (1995) to dramatically swirling scenes, done with pastels, of older teens seen through burning orange light against sketchy backgrounds, gracefully leaping, twisting, or crouching in watchful anticipation as the ball circles the stringless hoop. The visual excitement outstrips the accompanying poem; Burleigh (Flight, 1991, etc.), when not employing Nike-style ad copy ("Hoops./The game./Feel it,") descends into confusing abstractions and poorly chosen imagery—"The ball/The way it answers whenever you call./The never-stop back and forth flow, like tides going in, going out." The attempt to capture the game in words is certainly in earnest; the outstanding art merits better.

    Good low-level/high-interest book for basketball lovers

    Beautful, warm illustrations depict ethnically diverse people. The language is reminicent of jazz with its sing-song quality and short sentences that sound slow and rounded. Great book for students working on fluency who read too fast!
