Title: Not Adoff's Best
Product review: Arnold Adoff has written marvelous books of poetry. This isn't one of them. Many of the poems seem to have been written by children. Perhaps that was the intention. Perhaps a sports fan or athlete would be able to connect to the text better than I did. There are some excellent images such as a soccer player who is "a brown tornado on a muddy day" and a dry throat waiting for a cold can of pop. Could be a nice tool for getting young athletes to reflect on their activities through poetry and other types of writing.
