I liked this book because of the style of it. This book would really helpful for younger readers to read because it is bridging picture books/fiction to nonfiction. I would use this book in an early childhood education classroom fro students who like basketball and maybe want to get them to read more.

This book is a picture book and biography about the Harlem Globetrotters and how they changed basketball forever. There are many facts embedded into the book that have dates and captions about what exactly was going on when the team was just started.
