From the Publisher

Gr 2–4—This series has a winning combination of facts about the featured sports and their histories. The information will help students decide if a sport is right for them. Action shots of children of a variety of ages are plentiful and are accompanied by pertinent captions. "The Coach's Corner" text boxes deliver interesting tidbits, and the large font is appropriate for the intended age group. The slim formats of the volumes are deceptive: students will walk away with a great overview of each sport. Libraries looking to update their collections will find these to be solid choices.
