Slam Dunk!! This is THE book for Basketball!

As a sport & fitness professional working with children's fitness I recommend Eule's book for anybody looking to support their child's athletic endeavors. Eule has identified the true role of youth sports and importance of a fun athletic environment. Children can't help but be inspired by this book- regardless of athletic skill level, every child who has read this book has been positively influenced both on and off the court.

Too many superlatives to write out for one book

After I bought him Mr. Eule's book, my eight year old nephew became a better basketball player and person within three days. I would recommend this well-written and illustrated book for kids of all ages! Also, before reading this book my nephew was self-conscious about wearing tank tops without a t-shirt underneath. But after seeing the happy basketball player on the cover of this book, the Youngster wears only tank tops for all functions! I can't wait for the next edition!

Raising the bar for children's sports literature!!

As a father of eight, I have read over 50 books written for a kids' audience devoted to the topic of basketball. Without a doubt, this book by Mr. Eule redefines the genre. It simultaneously managed to engross my twin five year-olds while also entertaining my sixteen year-old daughter. It's written clearly and passionately with a clear emphasis on Fun! Fun! I am already excitedly waiting for Mr. Eule's next publication! Awesome! Awesome!

Excellent Book

This book was just given to my 9 year old son, and he loves it. I would highly reccomend this book to anyone with a kid who loves basketball.

Clear, simple, fantastic

Eule has captured the magic of the game for young people. Along with the colorful pictures, Eule's clear, simple explanations are buoyed by his obvious love of the sport.I'd recommend this for any child who has ever dreamed to play with the pros.
