The poetry anthology HOOP KINGS (Candlewick 2004) is a must for any language-arts teacher's classroom. Snappy, rap-rhythm poems about basketball greats will have even the most reluctant student-poets sit up and take notice. Poems from this book can be used to teach concepts such as alliteration, metaphor, rhythm and typography with slam dunk material. Readers who enjoy Kwame Alexander's books, will love HOOP KINGS.
