Review

This book takes a quick look at the basics of 23 different sports. And these looks are more like a little snap shot. The author points out things like what a player would wear, the equipment they use, and the field that the sport is played on. All of the illustrations are drawn by hand. They are simple- think clothed stick figure-, colorful and for the most part labeled clearly. The style is almost a cross between a picture book and a graphic novel. This would be a great book to introduce a preschooler to a variety of sports but it would also work well for a struggling reader that likes to read about a variety of sports.

Overall Book Score: very good
