School Library Journal
K-Gr 2-These slim series entries systematically cover equipment needs, a few basic skills, and safety tips for beginning sports enthusiasts. In both books, Bizley gives helpful tips such as practicing "heading" a ball in soccer by first working with a balloon or beach ball or wearing "water wings" when you are learning to swim and decreasing their inflation as your skills progress. Colorful photos and cartoon characters in action enhance the descriptions of warm-up exercises, moves and strokes, playing areas, and safety rules. These titles are similar to those in the "Beginning Sports" series (Lerner) and will serve as introductions.-Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
