Free J Is For Jump Shot: A Basketball Alphabet (Sports Alphabet) Ebooks Online
From the first jump ball and its humble beginnings at a YMCA with a couple of peach baskets, to the final buzzer and the glam of an NBA slam, basketball bounces onto your bookshelves with J is For Jump Shot. As with the other Sleeping Bear sports titles (7 titles and over 400,000 in print) it is the perfect introduction to the game. Whether reluctant or voracious, readers will be entertained as they learn the rules, fundamentals, famous players and plays. Young fans and old will find nothing but net with Mark Braught's dynamic illustrations as their many questions are answered -- What was the role of Dr. James Naismith in developing the game? Why do referees sometimes place their palm on their head? And who scored more points than any other NBA player? Mike Ulmer has written several books for Sleeping Bear Press including H is for Horse: An Equestrian Alphabet. He lives in Hamilton, Ontario. Mark Braught illustrated last fall's Sleeping Bear Sport title T is for Touchdown: A Football Alphabet. He lives outside Atlanta, Georgia.

This is a good book. My son does not like it as much as H is for Homerun. The words of this book do not seem to flow very easily, but it is very educational and a fairly good introduction at basketball.
This is a great book for kids of all ages and reading abilities. The words for each alaphabet are great for my 2 & 4 yr old, and myself and my husband love to read the more in-depth explaination to the side. This book would be a really good present for a family with multiple age children. I highly recommend it and the others in the series.
My daughter is going to be a elementary teacher and she is collecting these books for her classroom. She loved it!I bought it for Christmas for her. I bought a couple others as well. They were a big hit Christmas morning. She likes the fact that the book has both a version for older and a version for younger children right within the book.
This book series is wonderful. The poems are great and the detailed information about each sports' rules, history, highlights are interesting for kids and adults. Helps put each sport in context as the child is learning to play.
i got this book because i had another in the series. i was dissapointed becuse it wasn't available in board book, but when i got it i saw why. there is a short line for each letter of the alphabet for little kids, and then a longer paragraph for each letter as well, that goes into the game on a deeper level for older kids. very well illustrated - highly recommended as a book that will grow with your kid.
