ALA Booklist (Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 CDT 2008)

This entry in the Sports Starters series offers a solid overview of volleyball, from rules and scoring to basic moves. The accessible text lays out clear explanations of terms and concepts, and words that appear in bold throughout are defined in an appended glossary. The eye-catching design combines large color photos of athletes in action with smaller inset pictures that further illustrate specifics such as ball handling and referee signals; captions make clear what's happening in each image. The book's single drawing offers a very useful aerial view of players' positions on the court. The print is large, but hip fonts and straightforward text that doesn't talk down will appeal to older struggling readers.
