(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin Sylvester. Taylor is psyched to have made the same youth ice hockey team as the "kid they are already calling the Great One." But being Wayne Gretzky's teammate is nerve-wracking, challenging Taylor's self-confidence. Coach Wally Gretzky's pep talk helps assure Taylor: "You don't have to be great at something to be great." Uneven illustrations reflect Taylor's development within this didactic, if well-meaning, story.
Reviewer: Carrie Harasimowicz Sullivan
