Illustrated by Theodore Taylor III
The first book in super-star Shaquille O'Neal's fun, basketball and family-focused series is now available in paperback as part of the Read & Bloom line of early chapter books!
Little Shaq and his cousin Barry, who love basketball and video games, were inspired by the life of worldwide super-star Shaquille O'Neal. With illustrations from Theodore Taylor II, winner of the 2014 Coretta Scott King/John Steptoe New Talent award, this series will be an instant hit with kids.
When Little Shaq and Barry accidentally break their favorite video game, they'll need to earn enough money to replace it. That's when Little Shaq's science project inspires a solution: a gardening business. Little Shaq and Barry make a great team, working hard to help out many different neighbors. After earning more than enough money to buy the game, they decide to use their earnings to build a vegetable garden at the rec center that everyone can enjoy!
Read & Bloom offers high interest, character driven stories for newly independent readers that feature full-color illustrations throughout and will transition kids from leveled readers to a lifetime of reading.
