Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 4-8-Librarians who have been looking for a good basic book to replace the dated photos in Robert Reynolds's Lacrosse Is for Me (Lerner, 1984; o.p.) will find it here. After giving a brief history of the sport and its connections to early Native Americans, the author compares the game before 1933 to present-day play, which combines "aspects of basketball, soccer, ice hockey, and football." Nicholson concludes with a chapter on the game's greatest players. The only other book to rival this choice is Diane Hoyt-Goldsmith's Lacrosse: The National Game of the Iroquois (Holiday, 1998), which has many colorful photos. Soccer, on the other hand, enters a field crowded with excellent books for beginners, including Lori Coleman's Fundamental Soccer (Lerner, 1995), Caroline Arnold's Soccer (Watts, 1991; o.p.), and Ivor Baddiel's Ultimate Soccer (DK, 1998). Wukovits's book is pedestrian in comparison to the many others available. Both books include black-and-white photos.-Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA
