PreS-Gr 2—Young kids show off their sports skills in these adorable easy readers. Joining the traditional cast of kids' sports books are some unique offerings, like paintball and rodeo. For sports that include a lot of gear or a special playing field, such as hockey, baseball, and golf, the equipment or course is briefly described and the pictures are well labeled. All but one of the books are written in a first-person narrative to immerse readers in the experience. Any one of the diverse cast of characters in the bright, fun photos could be the narrator. These small, simple books for emerging readers include no more than 10 words on a page. Each concludes with guidance for caregivers that suggests pre- and post-reading questions as well as some dialogic reading prompts. VERDICT An additional purchase if you need to strengthen your easiest leveled readers.
