Gr 4–6—What is the greatest team of all time? Breaking it down in a 10-team countdown format, the G.O.A.T.s are described in epic sports writing that highlights the teams' noteworthy players and history-making achievements. G.O.A.T. Baseball Teams includes three appearances by the New York Yankees. Perhaps more shockingly, there are no duplicates in G.O.A.T. Football Teams! G.O.A.T. Hockey Teams includes both male and female teams, professional and amateur alike. Young U.S. soccer fans will cheer at the U.S. Women's National Team's multiple appearances in G.O.A.T. Soccer Teams. Both men's and women's professional basketball receive their own welcome treatments in separate titles. Readers may agree (or disagree, as the "Your G.O.A.T." sections encourage) with the authors' conclusions, but regardless of their personal feelings, they'll learn a ton and be entertained along the way. VERDICT The high-energy writing makes this series, jam-packed with fast facts, ideal for statheads. A recommended first purchase.
