What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Mo may not be the biggest, the strongest, or the fastest basketball player, but he won’t let that stop him from playing! This Step 2 reader from Geisel Award winner David Adler is now in Step into Reading! Mo’s latest obsession is basketball. He’s determined to learn how to pass, but as the shortest member of the team, he can’t seem to launch the ball high enough. Can Mo learn to pass in time to help his team win the big game? Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories, for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story.
