Colorful backgrounds and large photos of the athletes at play make this series great, indeed. --Booklist -- (7/6/2022 12:00:00 AM) The succinct writing is engaging and good for browsers . . . a good series for having a little bit on your shelves about a lot of players. --School Library Journal -- (11/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)

It's one thing to be good at sports, but being a G.O.A.T. signals athleticism at another level. The Greatest of All Time Players series identifies professional athletes who have achieved this distinction. Each volume starts with a brief story of a G.O.A.T. in action, a short explanation of the player's position, and quick facts related to the position. The accessible text transitions to profiles of the position's top-10 athletes, with each profile offering an overview of the player's record-breaking career and stats. G.O.A.T. Basketball Point Guards includes both NBA and WNBA athletes and emphasizes how these players are some of the smartest and most adaptable on the court. G.O.A.T. Basketball Power Forwards looks at some of the biggest and most-skilled players in both the NBA and WNBA. G.O.A.T. Football Linebackers spotlights the importance of this position in a football team's defense. G.O.A.T. Football Quarterbacks describes how a quarterback is 'the captain of the offense' on a football team. Because it's hard to select just 10 greatest players, a list of 10 more exceptional athletes follows. Each book concludes by tasking readers with creating their own G.O.A.T. list. Colorful backgrounds and large photos of the athletes at play make this series great, indeed. --Booklist -- (7/6/2022 12:00:00 AM) These books feature similar countdown list formats, leading readers through the top 10 G.O.A.T.s for their positions. After a quick description of the qualities an athlete must possess to excel, Lowe launches into the lists, providing a two-page mini-biography for each star. Readers will appreciate that the lists include both 'legacy' and contemporary athletes, like Charles Barkley and Giannis Antetokounmpo in G.O.A.T. Power Forwards. The basketball books notably include athletes who identify as male and female. All the books in the series conclude with 'Even More G.O.A.T.s' lists of exceptional players and 'Your G.O.A.T.' sections, which encourage readers to make their own top 10 lists using solid reasoning for placements. The succinct writing is engaging and good for browsers, but lacks depth for rabid researchers. Overall, it's a good series for having a little bit on your shelves about a lot of players. VERDICT A fun, though not necessary purchase. --School Library Journal -- (11/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)
