Designed for hockey enthusiasts... A compilation of the best hockey players... Very flashy and brightly-colored graphic design shows the player's names inside a pulsating star with text boxes resembling collectible cards containing a brief description of their teams and accomplishments.

For the inquisitive little pucksters in your family, Santa suggests Eric Zweig's recently released Hockey Hall of Fame series: Dominant Defensemen, Super Scorers, and Great Goalies... to score a natural hat trick. Zweig is a master of hockey history ferreting out tasty tidbits for the hockey hungry. And his winger's work adds "wow power" to the "lively text." The small fry in grades 3 to 6 will love the illustrations, the old-fashioned hockey cards, and photos featuring archival material from the Hockey Hall of Fame. Clever titles -- Blasts from the Past, Modern Matches, Powerful Pairs, Parallel Pucksters -- are peppered throughout the texts making the three volumes an attractive and fun read.
