SuitabookThe Superstar Story of the Harlem Globetrotters
Larry Dobrow
- Reading
- Try the book in short stretches: pause after a section to sketch a simple timeline, then use the quiz as a recap. This makes the timeline activity part of reading rather than an extra task.
- Themes
- History through a team: The book follows the history of the Harlem Globetrotters, noting their Chicago origins and their role in basketball and professional sports. It frames the team as a route into sports history and mentions innovations in basketball and professional sport.
- Learning features: Alongside the team history, the book offers a section with extra subjects, advice on making a timeline and a quiz. These features make the book’s presentation partly activity-based, as well as informational.
- Worth knowing
- The book ranges beyond the team’s story into basketball history and Antarctica. If your child prefers a tightly focused account, you may want to look through those additional sections together.
