Fundamental Gymnastics

From School Library Journal
Gr 3-6-With the upcoming Olympics this summer, readers are likely to be asking for books on this topic. Bragg provides information about the sport itself rather than how to perfect one's own skills. Four chapters provide a brief history of gymnastics, descriptions of the six events for boys and the four events for girls, the basic moves, the general workout, and competition. The events and some of the skills are shown in excellent-quality full-color photographs on each page. Interesting facts in orange boxes appear throughout. Janice C.
