Sports Illustrated Kids: Drawing with Sports Illustrated Kids series.
Illustrated by
Mike Ray.
Brief text puts young readers in the play: "The pocket has collapsed! You'll have to scramble!"; five steps take them from stick person to fully equipped player engaged in action moves such as facing off and scoring a goal or tackling and passing a football. The premise is enticing for sports fans, but the projects may leave the targeted audience behind. Reading list. Review covers these Sports Illustrated Kids: Drawing with Sports Illustrated Kids titles: Picture a Slap Shot and Picture a Touchdown.
