Describes the basic rules, skills, and important people and events in the sport of soccer.
Gr 2-4-These three books describe the basic rules, skills, and important people in their respective sports. Each one includes a time line and an interesting array of trivia facts. Font size is large enough for beginning readers, yet the sentence structure and vocabulary clearly elucidate without talking down to the intended audience. Pages are attractively laid out with colorful photos across the spreads. However, despite a young person on each cover, the illustrations in Football and Baseball show a preponderance of older male players, from high schoolers to professionals. Update your sports sections with these winners.-Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
