Tall Tales:  Six Amazing Basketball Dreams
by
Charles R. Smith, Jr.
Grades 4-6

I liked this book a lot.  It tells women that they are not less fortunate just because they're girls.  Also it was cool the way it was set up, that made it more interesting.  It gets an A+.

We like the book's wild and crazy colors, unusual fonts and sizes, and neat photographs.  "Walk Softly" and "What Jo Did" are about people who do amazing things.  If you like the stinky Cheeseman, you'll love this book.  It's a slam dunk!

I like this book because I like basketball and the girl can dunk  the ball even though she is short.  This book was good.  I like the book Tall Tales.
