[Erin Brawner · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book has twenty-eight different poems about my favorite sport basketball. Each poem takes on a different feel for the sport which may relate to the studends. This is great for teaching students about poetry.

Great set of poems for young students, but not a favorite of mine.
