Moonlight Dunk Contest is an adorable, fun introduction to basketball for children. I loved the rhyming throughout the story and the way the drills are woven into the action. The characters are colorful and full of personality, and watching them play and work together gives children something they can easily follow along with.
It is a quick read, but one that could spark a child’s interest in learning more about basketball, from practicing drills to getting ready for the big game. A playful story, colorful characters, and a little basketball mixed together make this one a fun read for young sports fans.
