An excellent honeypot enticement for children to read

This book is an excellent incentive to get young people reading, as it is a combination of text and images of some of the young stars of the NBA.

The stars profiled in the book are: *) Gilbert Arenas *) Baron Davis *) Manu Ginobili *) Ben Gordon *) Grant Hill *) Steve Nash *) Dirk Nowitzki *) Emeka Okafor *) Dwayne Wade This is also an excellent gift for young people with an interest in sports.
