Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-7-These titles are geared toward high-interest, low-vocabulary readers. In the first title, Doeden describes elements found in a skatepark, such as ramps, stairs, and obstacles. There is a page dedicated to "park rules" as well as suggestions for readers on how to go about getting a park built in their own area. The topics in Hoena's book include the history of the skateboard and information about its different parts. Each book ends with a page of five or six words to know, two "Useful Addresses," three Internet sites, and three books for further reading (two of which appear in both books). These titles are a little dry as they simply deal with equipment and skateparks and make no mention of tricks, skating slang, etc. Additional items at best for libraries with a great demand for material on this topic.
