5.0 out of 5 stars Schnakenberg makes learning fun!, September 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Scottie Pippen: Reluctant Superstar (Sports Achievers) (Library Binding)

My daughter and I read together regularly. She, like myself is a Bulls' fan. We both missed Scottie during his absence from the sport in the 97-98 season after being injured. I was not surprised when she brought this book home for a book report. To my delight, I found that Mr. Schnakenberg writes for children without talking down to them. While she learned more about her favorite basketball player, I found the author engaging and insightful. I know how Scottie plays. After reading Mr. Schnakenberg's book, I now feel I know WHO Scottie IS. I'll be looking for more Schnakenberg. I suggest other parents do the same!

Scottie Pippen: Reluctant Superstar is an engaging, informative look at the life of this NBA great. My son and I read it together and enjoyed it thoroughly. It compares favorably to the other books I have read on the subject. In fact, it's the best of the lot!
