review:
'Kid Athletes' with stories by David Stabler and illustrations by Doogie Horner tells children true stories from the lives of famous athletes.
The book is divided in to 3 sections telling stories of kids with rough beginnings, how family plays a role and the importance of practicing. There are representations from all kinds of sports starting with baseball and Babe Ruth who liked to cause trouble as a kid. Michael Jordan had to deal with having two taller brothers until he had a growth spurt. Jockey Julie Krone was good at taming a certain horse that nobody else seemed to be able to tame.
These stories and others are short, fun and inspiring. I learned some things I didn't know about these athletes. The illustrations are kind of like cartoons and are a lot of fun.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Quirk Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
