"Basketball Basics" is the perfect book to introduce children ages 3 to 8 to the fundamentals of playing basketball. Teachers can easily incorporate the story into the classroom curriculum, and parents can read to and with their little ones at home.

Coach Charlotte's Giraffes and Coach Martin's Eagles spend the first week of basketball season learning the fundamentals of the game -dribbling, passing, shooting, some defense, and rebounding - but they've never played against each other. This year, Coach Martin suggests a friendly scrimmage game so players can practice their new skills.

Will the Giraffes or the Eagles win?
