Basket Ball | Esmé Raji Codell

2 posts | 2 read

Lulu prefers playing basketball to playing with dolls. So when the boys won't let her join their school-yard team, she decides to host a Basket Ball--where ball gowns are traded in for sequined basketball jerseys and high-top heels! Girls travel from all over the world to attend the ball, shooting hoops, showing off their skills, and forming a league of their own. Bestselling and award-winning author Esme Raji Codell has crafted an action-packed, slam-dunk picture book that will appeal to girlie girls and sporty girls alike. The book includes a glossary of basketball terms.

so-so

Cute idea, mediocre execution. The boys won‘t let Lulu join the basketball team because she‘s a girl, so she creates her own team of teamless girls from around the world. The rhyme is really forced in this one, and the art is okay. It isn‘t bad - it could just be much better.

2âď¸Ź I like the idea of this book, but wish it was executed better. Lulu loves to play basketball but the boys will not let her play. So she host a basket ball for other girls in the world. Then they decide to form their own league. The author tries to make the story rhyme, but it is a stretch as the story develops. Girls playing ball in heels. Please. Just not for me. Then the glossary of basketball terms at the end. Nope. Not liking it.
