Gr 4-6--Focusing on women's competitive gymnastics, each entry in this series includes a visual and written description of techniques, as well as information about each event's most famous stars. There is frequent mention of working with a gymnastics club and coach to hopefully keep readers from attempting difficult maneuvers on their own and injuring themselves (descriptions of more advanced moves are almost always accompanied by a safety reminder that they should be practiced at a gym with a coach). Though rules are mentioned, they're not in-depth enough to give more than a basic overview. Some photos of boys are included, but the work is mostly directed at girl gymnasts.
