Book Review
Shooting hoops & skating loops: great inventions in sports
2000
Overview
In the spirit of promoting Canadian achievement, Shooting Hoops and Skating Loops: Great Inventions in Sports celebrates Canadian ingenuity by taking a chronological stroll through the development of ten recreational activities, many of which have since evolved into popular sports now identified with this country. From snowshoeing to sailing, hockey to basketball, the text weaves together historical story and facts into an entertaining and fun narrative that has readers sailing the first Laser and throwing snowsnakes over a mile! Various aspects of these sports are discussed, including equipment design, key historical figures, and the roles of Aboriginal peoples and women. The text is comfortably interspersed with illustrations, subheadings, and separate boxes of related information [such as early game rules] or unusual facts ['did you know...?].
