Random Hockey Book of the Week, Week 6: Z Is for Zamboni
Week 6: Hockey: Z is for Zamboni: A Hockey Alphabet. With the holidays coming up, this week's random hockey book is aimed at a younger audience, a little younger even than the Edmonton Oilers lineup.
Everything a Future Stu Grimson Needs
Everything your future Stu Grimson could need is in this one. Happy holidays.
An Alphabet Book for Hockey Fans
"Z is for Zamboni" is an alphabet book for hockey fans young and old across America. Matt Napier's "breakaway" rhymes and "hard-checking" expository text team up with the "top-shelf" illustrations of Melanie Rose to elucidate this increasingly popular game for every beginning hockey aficionado.
Rules, Players, Teams and History
Highlighting rules, players, coaches, teams, and the history of the game, it is both fun and educational.
That description comes from Amazon.
