Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Reviewed with John F. Grabowski's The Los Angeles Lakers.
Gr. 7-9. From the crunch of helmets on the gridiron to the squeak of high-tops on the polished wooden floor, these entries in the Great Sports Teams series examine the history, the players, and the fans of some of the great dynasties in American sport. In Dallas Cowboys, Grabowski points out that it was questionable whether the Cowboys, which began as an expansion team, would have a chance against the legendary Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears: now, five Super Bowls later, they have proved they have what it takes to play in the NFL. The story of the Lakers tracks the team from the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" to its current home in Los Angeles. As the histories unfold, readers are introduced to some of the players, coaches, and owners. Photographs add browser interest, and each volume has a comprehensive bibliography and suggestions for further reading. Public and school libraries searching for a series rich in popular appeal will want to consider these volumes. Heather Hepler
