Mother Deuce: Tennis Etiquette and Rules of Play is for the young tennis player, age 3-10. It explains scoring, calling the lines, fair play, etiquette and sportmanship. Tennis scoring is difficult even for adults because it is different. The points are 15, 30, 40 and game. Learn about add-in and add-out, tiebreakers, deuce and other tennis terms. Tennis is a sport that you can play for your entire life. You do not need a team of players, just two or four.
New York Tennis magazine raved, Through witty rhymes and colorful illustrations, Mother Deuce takes us on the journey of a typical tennis match, breaking down what to do, and what not to do while playing a tennis match, as well as the basic rules of the game we love. Fairness comes up: 'You must call the lines fairly, to win a point squarely. Even if the ball merely touches the line, you must call it in and please don't whine.' Poppel also demonstrates tennis' unique scoring system and sets it up in a colorful way: First, you must learn how to keep score. This is not a very difficult chore. The most important topic of the book is about sportsmanship: Winning is not the most important thing, good competition should make your spirit zing. It is better to lose than to make a bad call, tennis etiquette is being gracious and fair above all. These lines are accompanied by illustrations and the book is a quick and amusing ride through tennis. Tennis is a sport you can play for your entire life, and Poppel's book is the perfect introduction to tennis for kids. School Library Journal said Mother Deuce is a delightful rhyming poem about etiquette and rules of play for the game of tennis, aimed at children who are at least a little familiar with the game. The author obviously shares seeks to share his love for the game. Grades 3-6.
