Publisher's Synopsis
Bowling Scoring Made Fun!
Who's that cool dude on the lane?! Why, it's Alley Gator, and he loves to bowl! And he's here to teach you how to score! Have you sat at a bowling alley and watched the automatic scorer total up each game without fully understanding how or why these numbers popped up on the screen? Are you tired of asking someone else to keep score for you? Whether you're a kid or an adult - 9 or 99 years old, The Alley Gator Bowling Book is for you!
This book takes you on an illustrated step-by-step game of bowling where you will learn how to keep score like a pro! Unlike other bowling scoring instructions, Alley Gator takes into account all scenarios (Open, Spare, Strike, Double) with clear and concise language that is easy to follow. This book comes with 30 pages of score sheets for up to six players per game along with the scoring guide with illustrated reference icons. A great book for beginners, anyone who wants to brush up on how to score, and anyone who wants a fun and simple way to explain the rules and lingo of bowling.
Also included are 10 pages of bowling references:
Types of rolls, glossary of terms, introductory rules, and a section on bowling etiquette to help you "talk the talk" and "walk the walk" at the bowling alley. What's a washout? What's a turkey? Why do you wear bowling shoes? What are those arrows on the lane? All these questions and many, many more are answered in this book!
Plus 12 pages of:
Bowling cartoons to leave you laughing at the lanes, fun facts, puzzles, and activities to deepen and test your knowledge of the game that people have loved since the days of ancient Egypt!
