5.0 out of 5 stars
For Hockey Lovers Everywhere...,
By P.M. Abke (Hockeytown -- Detroit, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hockeytown Hero : The Steve Yzerman Story (Paperback)
I just finished reading Hockeytown Hero: The Steve Yzerman Story. Finally, a biography written for kids about our Detroit Red Wings Captain! Author Shelley Lazarus includes interviews with Yzerman, his teammates, and other hockey legends, including Scotty Bowman and Bryan Trottier. I thought the book was well written; a great story told artfully. Trust me when I say grown ups will enjoy it as much as the kids! While the book focuses on Yzerman's hockey career -- from the time he first skated at age three, through two Stanley Cup championships -- I really enjoyed the personal glimpses and photographs included as well. Yzerman's parents even provide team pictures of his early years as a "Moose Pup All-Star" (age 8.) I already bought copies for my neices & nephews, and saved one for myself, too! You've got to read this book.
