This book presents the true story of how James Naismith invented basketball in 1891 at a school in Springfield, Massachusetts.

A fun story full of great mustaches. A short story behind the inspiration for one of America's best-loved team sports. Great illustrations and small details make this book memorable.

For students interested in sports history, this picture book will be sure to entertain and educate about the invention of basketball. John Coy is a well-know sports genre writer, so his narrative nonfiction will not only be engaging but full of gold nuggets. Great for read aloud! (

With old fashioned, WPA style art (social realism) and an understated way of telling the story, this is an interesting look at the invention of a sport. I like the strange, elongated figures and the limited color palette, and how some of the story needs to be extrapolated from the pictures.

Love this book. Illustrations are fantastic. Spare text is well done. Love it. (
