Pass the Ball, Mo! Summary

Pass the Ball, Mo! by David A. Adler

The third installment in this adorable Level 2 Geisel Award-winning series from a classroom favorite!

Mo's latest obsession is basketball. He's determined to learn how to pass, but as the shortest member of the team, he can't seem to launch the ball high enough. Can Mo learn to pass in time to help his team win the big game? This Level 2 reader about a little African-American boy with a big passion for sports is a funny, motivational companion to the winner of the 2016 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award.

Praise for Pass the Ball, Mo!:
...welcome addition to the easy reader shelves. --The Horn Book

Pass the Ball, Mo! Reviews

In this third Mo Jackson easy reader (Geisel Award-winner Don't Throw It to Mo!; Get a Hit, Mo!), Mo has found a new sports obsession. The ever-enthusiastic boy has basketball on the brain both at home and at school. Unfortunately, being the shortest player on his team leads to Mo struggling to connect (literally) with his teammates when passing the basketball. At practice Coach Emma says, 'Mo, pass the ball.' Mo passes it to Gail. It hits her knee and bounces away. After some extra practice with dad and some blueberries-into-cereal-bowl shooting at breakfast, it's time for the big game. A diverse cast of helpful and encouraging adults and teammates are all on hand as Mo makes the most of his limited time on the court and shines when his team needs him the most: all his practice passing higher pays off. The ending is unlikely to surprise fans of this always-funny and often-endearing series, but that won't stop them from reading and rereading this welcome addition to the easy reader shelves. Repetitive sentences, ample whitespace, and a large typeface help make Adler's humorous text comprehensible for new readers, while the inclusion of picture clues within Ricks's engaging illustrations aids readers in deciphering difficult-to-decode words such as cereal and whistle. --The Horn Book
