The Hockey Book for Girls (Books for Girls)
Grade 3-7-While young athletes will glean a few pointers from this slim book, the information provided is somewhat limited. Double-page illustrated spreads reminiscent of a scrapbook cover such topics as equipment, positions, training, scoring, and stars of the game. There is a useful section on how to care for equipment and readers will enjoy the interview with Karyn Bye. Unfortunately, the book is poorly written and some of the full-color photographs are small while others are unfocused. Barbara Stewart's She Shoots-She Scores (Firefly, 1998) is a better choice.Barb Lawler, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, PACopyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
