Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-5?Children interested in these sports will find these titles attractive and easy to understand. The instructions are crisp, clear, and concise. Related terms are printed in bold letters and explained within the text. The authors provide advice to parents, a brief history of the game, 15 rules, officiating signals, players' positions, sportsmanship, and a summary of rules. Colorful watercolor illustrations clarify and support accurate information. Diagrams are simple and labeled. Students with little or no background will appreciate these books.?Janice C. Hayes, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreeboro

Not much substance,
By
This review is from: The Illustrated Rules of Ice Hockey (Paperback)
This book was very disappointing. Much of its 32 pages is made up of illustrations that are just "filler." For example, page 15 is a full page drawing of players apparently changing lines. Another full page is taken up by a drawing of a defenseman watching two offensive players approach. In my experience, the two most important rules for young players to master are the offsides rule and icing. This book devotes one sentence to offsides and two sentences to icing. It does, however, devote a whole page to "the puck" and another whole page to "the stick." Some information in the book is debatable or even wrong. For example, on page 18 the young player is advised that "icing is only called icing when both teams have an equal number of players on the ice." My son, who has 7 years of youth hockey experience, said that this book might be "OK for a little kid who knows absolutely nothing," but that a "kid that young probably would not be able to read the book." My daughter, who has 4 years of youth hockey experience, said, "Not so great."

A great book to teach Children the rules and sport of Hockey,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Illustrated Rules of Ice Hockey (Paperback)
This book is excellent. I have used it while coaching hockey and my son and I have spent many hours reading it over and over again. It is basic, and simple for young children to understand. The presentation of the book is great, it has color illustrations for each of the rules. Its simplicity makes it great for children, or even adults to learn from
