4.0 out of 5 stars 48 Pages of "colorful sports reporting" on Shaquille O'Neal, October 6, 2003

By A Customer

10/06/03 Almost every page of the 48 pages on the "profile" and "very interesting biography" of basketball athlete Shaquille O'Neal contains an illustration of great and colorful pictures or nicely designed "stars" (63 in all)--exceptions are the 1st pages(the two leaf pages),the copyright page(ISBN 051620970-2(lib.bdg.);(ISBN 0-516-26423-0 (pkg), and the last page(Pg 48-"About the author"(Mark Stewart),who has "close to 500(five hundred) sports stories for kids". Its content page describes the fact that there are 5 chapters: I. Showtime! II.Always on the Move(from infancy to teen) II.A Star is Born IV. He's Grrrreat! V. Shaq Attack , as well as : a Chronology (Pgs 44-46),"NBA Statistics" and "Award Statistics"(Pg 47).All who "root" for interest(s) which will occupy the "restless thoughts" of kids will see these books as great mentoring tools for kids(regardless of what careers they will eventually follow) .
