Do you know a young superstar who's old enough to begin learning their alphabet and numbers? A budding basketball fan who's ready to take on the world of reading and hoops?

Well, Dickie V's ABCs and 1-2-3s, the first book in the Dick Vitale Children's Literacy Initiative, is AWESOME, BABY!

It's a children's alphabet and counting book from the legendary ESPN college basketball analyst, Dick Vitale. Dick is a grandfather of five and a passionate advocate for early childhood development.

In the book, children learn their alphabet through high-energy basketball words that Dick uses in his national broadcasts. For example, "D" is for "dunk" and "J" is for "jump." In the counting section of the book, Dick leads kids in counting using colorful basketballs.

The book has a special interactive feature the child can press to hear a digital, voice-recorded message from Dick Vitale.

The book is richly illustrated with a colorful menagerie of fun animal characters and typefaces.
