RICK “SHAQ” GOLDSTEIN SAYS: BIG “SHAQ” SCORES A 3-POINTER: 1) LIFE LESSON 2) TEAMWORK 3) CARING By Rick Shaq Goldstein I’ve had the nickname “SHAQ” for over twenty years now. I’m called it by my friends… business associates… and twenty years later… I’m now sometimes called “Grandpa-“SHAQ””… by my beautiful Granddaughters… and that’s the best of all. Along with the “other” “SHAQ”’s basketball skills… there are two other… just as important reasons I always loved “SHAQ”… because like me… he was a kid that never grew up… and even after “banging” under the boards with the biggest and baddest in the NBA… he always openly showed so much love and respect for his parents… and it didn’t matter… where he was… or who was there. And both those loving qualities are evident in this wonderful children’s book.The story of Little “SHAQ” not sharing the ball with his teammate and cousin Barry… creates hurt feelings… temper tantrums… and damaging of a video game… Dad tells them they have to earn money on their own to replace it. They have to work together… off the court… as well… as on. They find that the feeling they find in that process… can benefit an entire community.I have bought this book for my youngest Granddaughter… and look forward to reading it to her… and know very shortly it will help her as she is at the age where she’s starting to learn to read. I also like the way this story ties together some of the main core values of our family… sports… school… reading… teamwork… on and off the court.The illustrations are large… colorful… and extremely accurately defined… so as to make it easy for an adult reading to a child… to have meaningful pauses on the pages… to point out a “picture” of what they just read… to emphasize a story point… and help insure the interest level is continuing.Thank goodness my namesake didn’t include any free throwing in the story!

I am so glad that we heard about the book after my son read the book he wanted to know were there more books from Shaquille O'neal and also he wanted to take an Accelerated Reader Test. These books should be added to Accelerated Reader ASAP!!! It was an easy read, nice illustrations and nice font lettering, especially for me. I love to read with my son but sometimes find it hard because of the font but this font was Great! Please write more books Shaquille! I am so happy to read children books written by an African American Male. Love It!!!!

He cannot not read but he tells the story by viewing the pictures in the book. He enjoys hearing the story and makes comments about teamwork shown in the book! Great book! I look forward to the next installment of Little Shaq.
